   I'm assuming you're looking to sell or are curious as there isn't a huge   
   need to insure a safe.   
      
   With that assumption...you'll be lucky to find someone who will haul it   
   off without charging you.  If it's locked up, it'll almost certainly   
   cost you to have it hauled off.   
      
   The above statement doesn't apply if the safe is on an ornate pedestal   
   looking more like a fancy schmancy mailbox than a safe or if it is a   
   sphere.  Another detail that would remove it from the nil category would   
   be front doors painted with the name of a prominent store/merchant.   
      
   Most old safes reconditioned and sold with a warranty only retail for   
   $300-$1000.  Add an average of three years taking up floor space waiting   
   to be sold and thus why old safes tend to fall into the negitive value   
   category when they are sold by an individual.
