Friday, the family and I stopped off at the local Liberty Safe dealer. I've been mulling it over for a long time because I need a bigger safe, but space is a HUGE issue in my house. We checked out some safes, I took some measurements, and left with some brochures and price sheets. I realized that the safe that I wanted wouldn't fit, so I called in yesterday and got a price on a CN30. Supposedly they're having a sale this weekend, so he gave me the sale price. Quoted me $899 for the CN30 with combo lock, and $999 for the CN30 with the electric lock. I also got a price on the CN20 which was $749 with the combo lock. I have it all written down on my price sheet. I go into the dealer earlier today, and the salesman told me that the price for the CN30 was now $1099. I picked up a safe from him a year or so ago for my uncle, and I've dealt with the guy before and he's always seemed like a straight shooter to me and I honestly don't think he's trying to screw me. But what are the chances that he quoted me the wrong price 3 times? I didn't call him on the price difference because I didn't have my sheet with me so I just said I'd have to think about it alittle bit more and I left.

I planned on tryin to work a deal with him, I have the cash in my pocket. I just didn't expect the price to be higher than what he quoted me on the phone. Should I bring my sheet in there and ask him which safe costs the price that he quoted me? I don't want to turn it into a pissing match.sigpicLord, make my hand fast and accurate.

If they gave you a written quote on Friday take it back in and ask if he'd honor that quote. If he says no can do, ask why he didn't tell you it was a one day only offer. Then ask to speak to the manager/owner, let him know you're bought from them before, and ask them to honor the price quote.
If they still say no, take your business elsewhere and let them know it.Rob Thomas - Match Director NCPPRC Tactical Long Range Match

I would recommend that you go back with your paperwork. Show him the price you were quoted, tell him you'll take it today for that price. Yes or No?
If he says "yes", complete the deal. If he says "no", walk.

Well, I would call him back one more time and explain that you really liked his product but found a competing model near your quoted price. I then would ask what type of accessories this "second" quote comes with that might force me to buy from him...
Free golden rod, a pistol rack, I donno... Talk to me.
As was pointed out, there are other safe companies... They might be more hungry than this guy.

Thinking about it, at this point the wife is telling me to get the "FATBOY" since at this point its the same price and alot bigger. Do they play "lets make a deal" at places like this?Well, I would call him back one more time and explain that you really liked his product but found a competing model near your quoted price.

I would have just said this is what I was quoted and this is what I’m willing to pay. I will buy it right now. Of course I will be expecting free delivery. Go back and tell them what you are willing to pay. If you get it great if not look else ware.Comment

Whip out the cash and tell him this is what i've got and I was quoted this much($$$) for this safe (point to the safe) Cash in hand can be very persuasive. There is like 10 safe places in the San Jose area. If he wants the money he'll make the deal.There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
The others, well......they just never learn.

I ended up just buying the Fatboy, it's a freakin huge safe for the same money. The best part is that the wife pressured me into getting the bigger safe
