Help request - pricing knives - used and without boxes

**wes** · 06-21-2006, 04:15 PM

*** Other mods - I'll move this to for sale / trade as soon as I have some prices ***

Hello everyone. I need some help here.

I am planning to (finally) sell some knives. How much do I reduce prices if they are slightly used and without boxes? One house move was done too quick and I had to get rid of the boxes.

All of them are in excellent shape (in my opinion) but have been carried and (some) used.

I have the following that I will put up for sale:

Sypdercos - Dodo, Matriarch, SS Police

Cold Steel Trailmaster 2nd, Culloden serrated

HI Khukri 15" AK (I think) - small blade hole in sheath thanks to brother in law

Never used or carried:

GK Khukri smaller - very lovely to look at

Gerber Mark II serrated newer version

Boker Bud Nealy MCS

I'll try to get some pictures up this evening, but want a general idea of pricing. There may be more as I look around to see what I have missed. That is the bulk of it though.

I am hoping that some Canadians will be interested so I don't have to deal with border issues.

I would also think very strongly about trades for the following:

Spyderco Yojimbo (black pref.)
Spyderco Bill Moran (either style)

PM me if you want to trade.

Is the Police serrated or plain? VG-10 or ATS-55... perhaps Gin-1?

I guess if they are minty and would pass for new, you could try for 10% off retail NGK price (spydercos at least). If they show small wear a little more., maybe 15%.

My undumecated guess is that the HI stuff would retain its value the most, near retail, w/ the gerber/cold steel being in the 20% range. YMMV

Thanks Benny. That's the sort of info I was looking for. Prices seem to vary so much, it isn't even funny.

I will try for trades first (let's face it, I like knives) and then look to sell later.

Thanks to those that have helped.
