Early Cold Steel SRK value

[TheFlash]

I have one of the initial models of the SRK that I bought new from the Cutlery Shoppe back in the 1990 era - this one with the parkerized (looks like powder coat) blade - NOT epoxy coated:
1990 - ???.........#38C............Carbon V..............Parkerized.....Cordura/nylon

From what I can find, the current value is ~$100-$175.
Anyone have a better/narrower range for one that is in excellent condition, like mine is?

As a side note, I also just checked and like the posting in the SRK & Recon Tanto sticky posting, I have a NIB Recon Tanto Cold Steel Carbon V that says "Made In USA" on one side of the blade and has the cordura sheath with the 2 straps. Also looking for possible value so I can sell. Thanks.

That's a good range, there's always a 75 dollar or so spread on auction prices for the same item, just depends if two people both want it. I've gotten some great deals on CS knives where I put a bid in and then forgot about it till I got an email saying I won. And others where someone tries to outbid with a few seconds left and costs me 200 bucks.

If brand new, probably towards the high of that range, as only the early ones had the park finish instead of the later epoxy. But probably less than 200 unless, as above, a bidding war breaks out.
