I don't have a Cosco or any safe for that matter, but I did look at them and they are a decent starter safe. I know my collection will grow beyond the limits of that safe within the next 2 years so I passed on buying it
I have all the necessary tools to move a safe around all day. Its the money factor that kills meThat's been my biggest holdup in safes. If I get one big enough to hold what I have now, it'll be full and I won't have room for anything new. But if I get one that's big enough to allow my collection to grow, then it's gonna suck something aweful to move the thing. And with me being in an apartment, I don't see it all that feasible to get a huge safe.
Once I have a house (very soon hopefully) I'll get a decent-sized safe....
But I do need to get one, regardless of size...
I am in the same situation but am in a rental house I will be out of when I graduate. My solution is multiple smaller safes. I already have one similar to this that I got used from a friend and it is currently beyond full. I think I'm just gonna get another one for now. I know the fire-rating is prety much non-existant and its not the best out their but in my current situation I think this is the best setup.That's been my biggest holdup in safes.

Hmmmm.. so are you saying you have to spend 1500+ to qualify for a non-cheap safe :shaking:want a cheep safe to keep you valuable items safe in,
no problem when it gets broken into you are only out the cost of a cheep safe, and you do not have to worry about all your valuables.:mr-t:

A cheap safe is better than no safe and being that I am a college student on a limited budget it isnt exactly practical for me to spend $1k+ on a safe.want a cheep safe to keep you valuable items safe in,

Why worry about having a single safe for everything. I like the idea of multiple smaller safes spread around.
They are securely fastened to the surrounding structure, so no worries about someone picking them up and walking away with them.
When one gets full, go get another.
It's financially easier to spread out the cost this way and just get what you need as needed. Also the idea of having a couple different gun lockers around isn't such a bad one.
