<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 2707128, member: 10944"]I love these old safes. For a safe to have any value (other than fire protection) it has to be near impossible to move. Unfortunately like others said that makes them a very tough sell. Have to have the right guy with the right buddies and right know how at the right time to buy it. I would probably try listing it at 150-200ish and see what happens. They don’t seem to move too quick around here. If you’ve got no rush it might get picked up eventually. Sometimes even when people are giving away the monsters they have a tough time. If this one still has good original paint it should be more marketable. Some have nice fancy insides which helps too. There’s a lot of coin and bullion collectors and a safe is necessary for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
