How to find out the value of a particular knife?

[margifish]

Hey all, my stepdad died a little over a year ago and was a collector of knives. Unfortunately my mom has fallen on hard financial times and is having to sell some of his knives. The problem is neither of us know anything about knives so we don't know what (if anything) they're worth, and I don't want her to get taken advantage of if some of them *are* worth something. One of the ones she's selling is a Buck knife with a pin and a metal tin celebrating the 1902-2002 anniversary, so I figured this was a good place to ask and see if anyone knew what it should sell for.

I would Google it and see what they sell for.

Go to eBay and check completed auctions.

I'm sorry to hear about your stepdad and your mom's difficulty.

Unfortunately the rules don't allow us to discuss value.I would search closed auctions on ebay.This will tell you what it's worth to potential buyers.

The rules don't allow non-paying members to discuss values. Gold members and above can discuss values with each other.

As stated above look at some of the auction sites, also the Buck knives for sale section of the BF. If I were you I'd tell your mom not to sell on a site like ebay as their fee's will eat you alive. If you have a bunch of stuff try somewhere like craigs list, then if you don't sell your stuff and have a bunch of items pay a for a year and join BF as a paid member and you can sell your items on the exchange at no extra fee's.

However, some of the knowledgeable guys here could tell you exactly what knife you have. It is a 112 but one of the experts could tell us what special edition it is.
