I have a Battle Mistress I was considering selling and would like to know a ballpark value on it.It is straight handled,black with satin spine,hollow rivets on handle.A small scratch in finish(not in steel).With sheath,box(not sure if box is original,it's a white cardboard box with no markings) and original sharpening instructions.Blade retains original geometry.Any ideas?

Well not really sure until seeing it but I would say that an old SHBM will go between $500 and $600. If it is a special edition, then closer to 600 or maybe even more. Ultimately, they are worth what people are willing to pay for them. sell it to me cheap and I'll owe you a favor:thumbup:
However, due to the fact that the new ones will be comming out, it will be more for a collector than a user as the new ones will probably be in the $400+ range, non Heavy Ord, with the HO's going for another 100 I would guess.

check the Production Knives For Sale forum here on BFC. The prior sales of similar blades should give you an idea of the value.

Yeah the quote idea is good. I think the prices should be left. If they would have all been left in the add then whoever's writing the new Busse book could have researched and made graphs of the rise of each Busse knife through the years. Someone is writing a Busse book aren't they? With a bunch of pictures of all the different Busses. I would buy one :thumbup: .

good idea lets do that, and also we should post to all their future threads with that price so we can haunt the bastards for all time n eternity!:thumbup:
i have suggested the prices be left also...
another thing, if you post a knife for sale and it doesn't sell then you should raise the price just to teach them a lesson. then next time they might be a little more anxious to buy it!

Definitely in the 5 to 6 range and yes more of a collectors piece. Everyone is really caught up in the Fusion line right now which is fine if you're going to use it right away but they're going to be available for at least a couple of years so for me I'm not really in any hurry to buy any of them right now.

It drives me nuts too. That is why I leave all the prices in my threads. I does make it hard to guage the market when guys delet their prices. All you have to do is put a big SOLD! behind the price and maybe make a new post in the thread stating that this knife or that one is sold.
