buying safes at fixture sale at Toys 'R Us

[Squelchtone]

I'm going to stop by my local Toys R Us this weekend and ask the manager to see when they think there might be a fixture sale and if there are any safes for sale.

It may be a good opportunity for anyone else here looking to get some commercial safes as they are closing 700 stores.

Anyone here buy locks or safes from a store closing before? What was your experience like?

My attempt to purchase a safe from the local Macy’s that closed did not go well. The seller limited pre sale access, the safe had to be out in a short amount of time after they completed their liquidation sale, and there were restrictions at the mall which route I could take. The liquidation company also valued the safe a bit more than I was willing to pay.

The last two times I tried to buy a safe from a closing large store, it turns out the safes were built-in.

I haven't stopped by mine since I posted originally, but I drove by it yesterday and it's still open. I wonder what they would say to a random person walking in asking about it. probably call the cops on me... lol..

I was in our local Baby's R US the other day and they had slips of paper that you filled out and dropped in a box if you want any of the store fixtures. You were to check off the items you were interested in. One of the boxes was for the store safe.
