Good morning everyone.
So... I have been on the hunt for my first safe for almost six months now. I told my wife that all I wanted for Christmas was a gun safe. She agreed and the search began.
We had a budget of $1000 give or take a couple hundred. I was spending countles hours on Youtube and Calguns doing research. It seemed that in my price range, all I was going to get was a small safe imported from China. I needed to either A) Save more pennies for the safe I wanted or B) maybe look in to a used safe.
Durring the holidays, we went to Sacramento to be with my family. My sisters house is only 2 miles down the road from the Liberty Safe wherehouse. I wanted to see what they had. It was a mistake of epic proportions on my part. I had just stepped in to the mecca of safes. They had a safe for every budget. And of course I have champagne taste on beer money. But none the less, it was an awesome experience to be able to put my paws on everything. I set my sights on a "Lincoln" safe by Liberty. It was the perfect model, just not the perfecet price. I needed to come up with another 2K if I wanted to take it home. Plus delivery fees from Sacramento to So. Cal were a little pricey.
Meanwhile while enjoying the holidays, I came accross a used liberty safe on Craigslist. It was the Lincoln model just like I wanted, but it was the next size down and not the color I wanted. But the guy selling it only lived 2 miles from me. So he agreed to hang on to it for me until I got home.
I got home and went and viewed the safe. It was built in 2007. It was in great condition. The only drawbacks were color, size and mechanical dial. I really wanted a digital. But none the less, I bought this safe because of its superior specifications vs those made in China. I am real happy with the purchase. I got the safe for $1100.
I quickly filled the safe up. And I was a very happy boy....
