If the safe is high quality, that is a bargain. I was quoted 5x that for a quality tool-resistant safe.

Having a safe in one’s home is a useful thing indeed.

There's a photo of the safe at [1] revealing it's a Hayman-branded dial floor safe, and the price of a new Hayman dial floor safe is ~$700 [2]

Getting a ~$700 safe for $600 with free installation might be a good deal - but only if you were in the market for a $700 safe to begin with :)

Nice find.

It doesn't seem in any way a "safe" safe, it is just a very ordinary low-cost "home" safe, it shouldn't be that dificult to open it, it looks similar to the one that Sparkfun's Nathan Seidle founder opened up with an (el-cheapo, around 200 US$ in parts) self- made robot:

This article details how the actual possible combinations are much less than the theorical ones on these "home" safes:
