Mike Ward’s Liberty Safes | Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Thinking about selling your safe or trading it in? Whether you're upgrading to a newer model or no longer need your current safe, Mike Ward’s Liberty Safes makes the process simple, fair, and stress-free.

Below are answers to the most common questions we receive about safe buybacks, trade-ins, and upgrades.

---

How much will I get for my safe?

The value of your safe depends on several factors, including:

• Make & model
• Size & weight
• Overall condition
• Security level
• Current market demand

We can only determine an accurate value after reviewing your submission form and photos. Pictures are required so we can verify the manufacturer, model, and condition of your safe.

👉 The more detail you provide, the more accurate your quote will be.

Will I get more for my used gun safe if I'm buying a new safe?

Yes — in most cases!

You’ll typically receive more value when you trade in your old safe toward a new purchase. Since it costs us less to remove your old safe during delivery and installation of your new one, we pass those savings directly on to you.

Trade-ins = better value + lower install costs.

---

Can I get more for my safe if I sell it privately?

Possibly — and we’ll always be honest with you.

If we believe you could get more money selling privately, we’ll tell you. However, consider:

• Safes can weigh hundreds to thousands of pounds
• Specialized moving equipment is required
• Risk of injury or property damage
• Difficulty finding qualified movers

Convenience has value.
When we buy your safe, we handle removal, transport, and disposal — saving you time, risk, and hassle.

---

How is my safe’s value applied?

Your safe’s value is applied as a credit toward your new safe purchase, including:

• Delivery
• Professional installation
• Upgrade costs

This can significantly reduce — or even eliminate — your delivery and install fees.

---

How should I prepare my safe for pickup?

Before our team arrives:

✔ Write down the combination
✔ Gather any original paperwork
✔ Completely empty the safe
✔ Clear a safe, unobstructed pathway
✔ Secure all pets
✔ Keep children safely out of the area

This ensures a safe, fast, and damage-free removal.

---

Do I have to know the combination to sell my safe?

Yes — in most cases.

We must be able to open and inspect the safe before removal.
If you’ve lost the combination, give us a call — we may still be able to help depending on the situation.
