There's probably not a lot of buyers for your knife, it may take some time to find someone looking for a $1000+ prototype microtech. It's only been listed for a few days and it's not a sebenza. The sebenza I bought had a 'final price drop' just a couple of hours after listing!
Good luck-

Your thread has only been open for five days, and your knife is being sold for over $1,000. I have no idea what it's worth, but frankly, assuming that's a fair price, you can choose between waiting and getting the price you want or dropping the price and waiting less.
I've been watching the secondhand sales for years now, and the things that seem to move best are actually mint production knives and popular midtechs, but even then, if you want to sell within a week or so, there is usually some slight discount off of retail price. It's rare for production knives to sell for more than their new price. The only exceptions I've seen are popular Spyderco dealer exclusives and sprints that are made in numbers lower than their actual popularity and Benchmade balisongs during the dry spell when Benchmade wasn't making them.
Custom knives seldom sell for what they were first purchased for and often don't sell at all.
With the customs it's hard to tell what will sell quickly. Some makers like Fiddleback Forge move fairly quickly, but always below new price. Some of the legendary makers with big collector followings and/or long wait lists and/or who have passed on, like Randall or Loveless, will move quickly and at a premium.
