    Default milner 4 bend double door safe

    Bought on ebay for 99 pence, although picking it up proved to be a pain as they had used a jcb to drop it in the middle of a forest rather than the access road it was supposed to be on, shouldn't take much to put it back in use.

    Nice one Gary, surprising that there wasn't any other bids but seeing it's a double door I suppose that combined with the awkward location possibly everyone off- good bargain that,I'm sure you'll soon have it all sorted out.

    Surprised me I got it that cheap, and it wasn't the location putting people off buying as I didn't find out they had made it a nightmare pickup until I got down there, from the ebay listing it looked as if it should be a quite straightforward pickup.
    Already have the lock, boltwork and doors freed up and working nicely, much better than it rusting to death in the forest.

    Funny you should mention that Huw, the last time i bought a safe off ebay for 99p the bloke said to me, if you manage to get that monster in the van on your own, I will let you off the quid.
