Used ones were going for 900 or so down here in excellent shape. I’d say anywhere south of $1k is probably fair, start low and work your way up.
Gun Safes, what do you have (pics) and what do you recommend?

I do like the idea of an easier or dummy safe near the more secure one for the bad guys to spend their time on, filled with nothing but wooden broom sticks....
If I had a sizable enough gun collection and lots of cash, I'll build a special walk-in vault built into my bedroom walk-in closet. That's where I'd safely store my weapons, ammo, gear, and everything else gun related. For the average person it's overkill, of course. I just think it would be cool to have a nice, large collection of weapons with a superior, safe "home".
That would be so nice! Too many hobbies means I can't afford anything close to that....
I had a Centurion and the inner workings of the door broke. It was fixed under warranty, but the service tech got the door open, while it was broken and stuck locked, in less than 5 minutes. I got a smaller locker that was easier to hide while I waited for the door the get fixed. When I got it back, I just sold it.
My opinion... unless you want fire protection or have money to build a vault (not a safe), just get a cabinet and put it someplace where it doesn't stand out.

Nothing fancy but certainly nicer than most of the offerings at big box stores. I bought a pallet jack off craigslist years ago to move my first safe, glad I hung on to it. It only took 2 of us, me and my 78 year old dad to slide it off the trailer, tilt it upright and roll it into its semi-permanent spot. I'm stoked now that I can load it with the stuff that is in my other safe across town.
For theft yes. For fire or water damage no.
True. I was interpretating false flloors and panels as merely smaller hiding places. I was probably making too narrow of an interpretation. My apologies.
Here's a pic of my other safe at my other house that I am renting. I forgot how nice it was. I picked up a few goodies from this safe to transplant to my new Fatboy Jr. This is a Cannon T36, 10 gauge, almost 1100 lbs. I dread the day I need to move this one. Definitely nicer than my new Liberty safe. The flash and lights in the garage don't do this thing any justice, it's much nicer in person.
You'd think with the reputation Liberty has for quality made American safes something like this wouldn't get past their quality control. I haven't inspected all the welds yet, I'm not actually sure what parts on the exterior are welded, but it makes me wonder if any other bad welds were covered up by paint?
I understand, but I do know when I spoke to the warehouse rep he said they do have blemished models and he showed me some. I have no idea if these are robotically welded or what, but you’re right in thinking qc would catch that and have it corrected before going to the next station. Where is it located on the safe?
