Curious on the fair value for these?
I posted one for sale on a page on Facebook for switchblades for $125 which was apparently to high and I was harassed about it
I have found these on 2 sites with them in stock and actually ability to purchase for $149.99
But since BladeHq once had them for 50-80 range once upon a time.. (out of stock)
I told them I’d love to buy a ton of knives that are out of stock for their original release price. In most cases Out of stock means gone for good.
I’m a Case xx collector for the most of part, switchblades are not my wheel house, any advice on these?
These were released in 2016
Thanks for info in advance

All I know that recently, they must not be selling too well. I'm on the Colonial email list, and I was getting 2-for-1 offers on these regularly. That $50-80 seems more correct to me.
Mine is a VA-legal "neutered" version, in which the auto blade is a shackle key, and the blade is a PE slipjoint sheepsfoot. I paid $15 for it on clearance, direct from CKC.

Looks like I will need to make some adjustments

The price on these has recently climbed pretty high.
I think $100 is about right.

Well, not reading the fine print I listed this on eBay and within 5 minutes I had 6 watchers 3 offers (this past weekend)Bill DeShivs wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 7:24 pm The price on these has recently climbed pretty high.

$60-90 and then $110 which I accepted
After the sale eBay later removed the sale my fault.
Pretty sure they still charged me a final value fee
