Help me out here guys...

I've got a chance to buy a used Meilink TL-30 locally, and the shop owner that owns it is also willing to deliver it.  He said the plate on the door says its a Gibraltar model, about 5' x 2' x 2' approximate interior dimensions.  Plate on back shows the UL TL-30 rating.  Looks to be in reasonably good condition from the pics he sent, and has been kept indoors (no apparent rust).

What am I looking at as far as weight for this thing?  Owner estimates about 2500 lbs, but I'm not sure if thats a fair estimate or just a wild-assed guess.

How the security for an older TL-30?

Fair price for this thing?  I'm not sure what he'll charge for moving it, but whats a ballpark figure for moving this beast about a 90 minute drive (unloaded on ground floor - no stairs)

Weight seems about right for the size, how much for the safe?  I am guessing move cost at $500 - $750.

That looks like it, except I dont think theres the secondary key lock on it - just the dial.  

Price is $1500.

ETA - correction - it does have the secondary key lock.

I just had a large safe moved Monday. I called a rollback wrecker to move it,  my cost was less than $100 for a 12 mile trip. Maybe you could work a deal with someone near you. A pallet jack is around $250. I have a thread going with some pics here. Moving the safe around was scary, but we thought it through, and so far everything has worked out. Best of luck to you.
