As I shopped safes, I noticed there were a host of commercial ones which were very similar (60x30x18 or so, *firelined*, etc) but the biggest difference was price. Most are around 1200, give or take a hundred, PLUS shipping (local gunstore, cabelas, the gun store supplier, etc).
I happened thru Sams club, and found the same exact safe for 899. They will load it in your pickup (leaving the SAME amount of safe wrestling from curbside delivery). When I inquired they had none in the back, and only a demo, which was in GREAT condition. One problem, it has the 5 bar spinner opener, and there was an opener missing.
I talked to the manager, and ended up with a 10% discount...
plus my demokommie statehas ruled NO sales tax on gun safes...
plus the 7 dollars to the manufacturer for a replacement spoke...
1200 dollar plus shipping safe for 816. there ARE deals out there..I had been shopping for two months, and was watching, waiting and learning....
Here is the SAME exact safe for 1299......you decide...
