Mould in any safe is a common problem
Iirc epsom salts prevents this without encouraging rust, no?
Hm.. So, air tight storage containers aren't the way to store collectibles?
Mould has to eat something. I would have presumed any mould would quickly run out of oxygen/food/moisture/whatever
If you can ensure what you put in is moisture free, then sure. But that would require a lot of work in a vacuume chamber.
Which, come to think of it, would also take care of the oxygen issue.
Couldn't you just use silica desiccant packs?

Use a box of baking soda, pouches filled with charcoal, a small jar filled with cat litter or desiccant packs inside a safe to absorb dampness and reduce odors. Replace baking soda, charcoal pouches and cat litter ever six months. If using desiccant packs, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Perfect for my eneeloop collection
You don’t have the display case?
Lol
How much is it normally ?
similar price at Bunnings
It's hardly a bargain then..

Contents not included, no deal :)
The Honeywell cash box is a good deal. I paid the same amount for a box half it's size at Officeworks.
I wonder if this brand is in anyway related to the brand of yesteryear?
They should.
Last i checked the brand had never been sold off.
perfect for my linux distros…( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
actually reading the specs, it says 30 mins of fire protection…what might the actual use case be?
In true ozbargain spirit, a firie has suggested to me that the safest place for things is in a plastic bag inside a cupboard. Unless the house completely burns to the ground, cupboard contents are usually fairly safe, and the plastic bag protects it from the fire hoses.
Wouldn't the heat melt the plastic???
Seems like this would fit a usb hard drive… Maybe an SSD would be more heat resistant?
I'm guessing most fires would pass a given area in 30 minutes.
Ahh all of your most valuable items, made easy to carry for your friendly home invader.
Sadly this. I remember around 20 years or so ago walking through a creek between two housing estates and found one of these smashed open thrown in the bushes. Contained a bunch of 'compromising' polaroids and some assessments / reports on someone with an eating disorder plus a bunch of those micro cassettes used for recording conversations (no idea what they had on them). Handed it in to the local police station but they let me know later that they couldn't find the owner so I asked for it to be destroyed.
If you're going to do a safe, get it bolted in people.
get it bolted in people
Euch, imagine the mess. Better hope the door is blood proof.
Better alternative. Leave the key in the lock. The thief can checkout what's inside.
Bunnings have reduced their own version. I can't remember how much it was originally, maybe around $65-$69.
Only offers 5 year warranty though.

Yup, it was $69
Make sure you open it once a fortnight to air it out and stop mould growth inside going by the comments last time they had this….
