I bought my Fat Boy (the big one) from Murchdocs. However, I was in the Parker store a month or two back and the prices had shot up quite a bit. The manager said that the pricing increases had come from the manufacturer due to "supply and demand" issues.
That being said, if you're not in a hurry, you can buy the gift cards they run a couple times a year. They give you about 15-20% more in value than it costs to buy the card. Not sure if they run them in the summer or if it's just a Thanksgiving/Christmas thing. When I bought my safe, I had the gift cards, so I saved the 15-20%, plus they were doing a "buy a safe, get $100 off" deal, so it worked out to be an awesome deal.

Bought mine on sale at murdocks a couple years ago for $777 although I haven't seen them at that good of a price since.

WTF??? Are you sure about that?

I'm late to party but safe and warm for sure. Great guys.

Yup. That's what I was told while they (can't remember the name of the owner right now) were unpacking my safe. He also cleans chimneys, but said safes were his bread and butter and was looking for another brand to replace Liberty. I guess it's the small business guys who are getting the shaft.

Mark, or Marc, I believe. I've talked to him a couple of times, nice guy. I have a hardon to buy a safe from him (mainly because of price, selection, and the all-important delivery & setup!), yet can't afford one yet. I think he told me he's the largest volume Liberty dealer in the state, why the hell would they drop him.....that's friggin' stupid.

If this is the case it might be time for some harsh words to liberty directly.

just got an email that everything is 10% off at murdochs Friday 2/28. I don't know if you ever verified they had the safes but here's a shot to get 10% off if they do

Mark at Safeandwarm replied to my email.

Liberty ended his distributorship in October, because of the new Cabela's stores in CO. No letters, no discussions, no negotiations, no arbitration, just a phone call saying it's over. He said he'd bought nearly a million dollars worth of safes from Liberty over the last four years, and they just cockblocked him out. They'd rather sell their products through cold big box retailers than through a loyal, hardworking, honest, independent businessman that provides personal customer service such as free delivery and installation/setup?

So I don't think I want to own a damn Liberty safe now, or any of their other brands, or anything made by them.

Fuck 'em.

Ill be curious to know if this is an isolated incident or a pattern of focus to different distribution methods.

Will reach out to liberty and see what response is.
