Years ago I had a Q and somehow lost it. Kinda want another one and have been looking around.. Noticed there is a big price range. I'm looking at the one with the Spyderco logo in the blade. What is a reasonable price to pay?
 
The "bug logo" ones generally sell for between $50 and $100 in "like new" condition. Within that range, plain edge generally bring more than serrated and first generation more than second. Having the original box adds value to any version.

Picture below shows the major differences between first and second generation handles. Both have similar truss work, but the first gen was "three dimensional", while second had a flat cross section. Second also has a retaining pin added for the combination lock bar/lock spring.
