Before anyone says this isn't coin/bullion related, I asked SM1 if I could advertise for this and he said that I could 
If you are willing to travel within a 40 mile radius of Northwest Indiana (apx. 30 miles outside of Chicago) to meet me half-way and have a safe for sale, let's talk. Please send me a message if yours falls within the below specs.
Specs:
I really don't care what brand it is, all I care is that it works and is within these dimensions and specs. Dont' really care about how old it is, as long as it works.
I prefer digital password so the password could be changed more easily at any time. I would like for it to have at least 2-3 adjustable slot shelves.
I'm not sure how this would work out cu. ft. wise, but I prefer it to be roughly 32" tall x 20" wide x 18-20" deep. But I am willing to look at anything that roughly has these dimensions, perhaps sending me a picture of it when you send me a message would greatly help.
We can work out if you want cash, or maybe a trade...your safe for some of my bullion.
Conversely, if you are looking for a safe to store your pile in, I have one that I would want to sell/trade for any bullion.
It is a Sentry Safe, 1.3 cu. ft., with 2 adjustable shelves and an interior lockbox. It is currently bolted, so I would have the pleasure in trying to undo that, but it is an option for you if purchased. It has a digital password (numbers).
So how about it, anyone fairly local that can help me out before I have to pay retail? Thanks, Rich

To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.

I found a TL-30 on ebay not far from me. Paid 1/10th the retail price. I called the manufacturer to verify the model based on serial number and told them the price. They wanted to buy it if I didn't. There are good deals to be found. Also look for businesses going out of biz. The Borders near me had a great safe for cheap when they closed but the waiting was not high enough.
<< <i>I would check ebay and craigslist in the area. Then hire a mover to get it for you and change the combo so the seller doesn't ever really get to know you are where it is going.

A TL-30 safe for 1/10th retail is a screaming bargain!
What I would suggest to the OP is to call the local locksmiths in that area. They often have used safes for sale.
Now -- if you were looking for something specific (like a TL-30 safe, which are nearly impossible to find used, and are the minimum rating requirement for coin dealers to get insurance), you will be out of luck. But if you are just looking for a big, beefy (& possibly a bit unsightly) safe at a good price, calling area locksmiths would be my first move.

<< <i>There are good, large safes on my craigslist for free weekly. Just keep an eye on Craigslist for a couple weeks, you'll get something. >>
I bet those disappear in minutes. Honestly there are so many scrappers (guys who pick up metal on trash night) in my area nothing metal last more than an hour at the curb and free metal on CL disappears in minutes. It would be a shame to scrap a functioning safe though
