<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 911033, member: 24633"]Some of the armored car services have security storage facilities on their premises in certain locations, and the rates are often better than what you would pay for comparable space when renting multpile safety deposit boxes at your bank. At my bank, the largest SDB costs $35 annually and is only 1-1/2 cubic feet. I would need four of them just for my primary collections. The unit provided by the armored car service is 135 cubic feet and only costs $180 annually. It is also an advantage since the facility is staffed on a 24/7 basis, and climate control is around-the-clock unlike a bank which shuts down the A/C when they are closed. Since I live in South Florida, there is also the concern about hurricane flood waters (look what happened to bank and coin dealer vaults in the New Orleans area after Katrina) and the armored car facility that I use has the security storage on the second floor which is about 20' higher. The only drawback is that I have to make an appointment to visit my unit.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
