Need some opinions........

First, let me say this is not to solicit trade offers.
I have had to liquidate every blade I own but my SFNO. I am looking to end up with 2 nice fixed blades, you know, something to pass along to the youngins. But I want to use the crap out of what I get. I don't know if this sounds fair, and I don't want to seem greedy, but I am thinking of putting my CG SFNO up for trade fodder. But I am pretty picky, therefore I need to see what you guys think of what I may ask for. I really want to end up with a DC/OD G-10 ASH-1 and a Satin/Black and Green or OD G-10 GW or AD.
I have a summer of family outdoor fun planned and then I'm going to be off the radar for a while. So I am shooting to have what I really want.
My CG SFNO was UG/Black Canvas Micarta, now it is stripped and has a killer convex grind. So, do you think what I want would be marking up too much. Tell me what you folks would think is fair.
Again, this is not a shot at getting trade offers, and I am not sure I will even try, but I would like some input. Thanks, Mike

Hmmm... Hypothetically speaking, of course... Would you be wanting both blades in this hypothetical trade to be new? a new ASH-1 in that configuration is $432, I believe, plus the shipping to get it home from Busse, and another $267 for an OD AD in satin, I believe... $700 for a non-mint +shipping to you for a used (I'm assuming) & modded SFNO (Mag grips or standard?)? I don't believe that you're completely out of the ballpark, and I'm fairly sure that you'd find someone who'd do it... But personally, I'd pass on this.

I hope this helps ya!

Thanks Jaxx! Good point, and no, I wouldn't expect both to be new. Hypothetically speaking.

a cgash and ad (re-release) would be a fair trade for an sfno in the current market.

consider that recent ganzas and shows have had sfno's for sale though. and the cg versions likely went for far less than one would on the exchange. so what was fairly recently a blade that was very difficult to find, is again becoming more available.

once these show blades start flooding the market (ive seen two already) the market value will go down.
