Got this today from yet another on-line auction.I hadn't seen an Aanon in at least 25 years, and that one had a combo lock. Cost with buyer's fee and tax was < $20.

For that price I would have been happy to get just the lock. You got the whole safe.
Maybe this is the reason why you're a businessman and I'm not.

Congrats :)

Thanks femurat, but 'businessman' is a far reach. On-line auction houses/auctioneers in Minnesota and Wisconsin need not be licensed by their state. However, many on-line sites in MN and WI do both live auctions and the on-line ones, and then the auctioneer must be licensed by that state. I happened upon a site(s) where the bidding may not be all that fast and furious,(so far), or 'out of the way', thus the low prices I sometimes get these safes, etc. for. 'Lucking out' would be a term for this.

So you just get lucky sometimes. That's good. I thought you had a method to win auctions at low prices.

Sometimes I bid on a lock the starting price and hope nobody makes another bid. If there's a bid already I pass. This is my method to get locks at a good price.

Cheers :)
