Hey guys, I just recieved a Benchmade Balisong Model 45 in a trade, and I'm going to have to sell it because I want to go camping with my girlfreind and need some cash for supplies. Its got the original pouch, its been sharpened, and has some small marks on the latch, but other then that its in really great shape for a 4.5 year old knife. I was wondering if you guys could let me know what a fair price is for it so I can post it on the For Sale forum. Thanks.

I don't know exactly what its worth, but I'll give you $130 for it. That's 20% over retail!
Just kidding... try a search in the for sale forums for past sales of BM45's. That is the best way to judge the market, however fickle.
 
Oh I forgot to mention there is a small mark on the blade from sharpening. i searched, but couldn't find a price????
 
Well, it's always hard to go from brief verbal descriptions. But, sharpened and with latch damage, the $130 offer would seem reasonable, even generous, to me. It's a good beater knife. It'd be a great knife to take on a camping trip with one's girlfriend ;)
 
Chris,

Like new they go for around $250 so judge yours condition from that.

I would list it for at least $150 plus shipping.
