I would say 100 on a good day. You should try searching eBay completed auctions.

I think the ebay completed auction search only goes back a couple weeks or so. While I don't frequently browse the Natives on eBay, I'm guessing that the PRCA version is scarce enough that there hasn't been one up for auction in quite some time, so it wouldn't show up on the completed auction search. Keep in mind, the Native line is one of the less collected models among enthusiasts, so demand may not be extraordinarily high despite the relative rarity of this particular example. Who knows, you may luck out and someone out there may be willing to pay big $$$ for it.
 
If you find someone who is trying to collect all the variants of the Native, and doesn't have the PRCA one yet, or someone who is trying to collect all the PRCA marked Spyderco models and doesn't have the Native yet, they will pay a decent price for it. Not sure if it would bring over $100, but it might at least get close to that. To everyone else ts just a GIN-1 Native with a big blob on the blade and thus not particularly desirable.
