I have acquired an NIB Spyderco C62 Navigator with black G-10 scales, plain-edged. The clip is right-hand tip-down only. I will get a photo up as soon as I can, but I did find one stock shot of the model I'm talking about...

I also traded for an NIB Vagabond, FB12. The box has a stain on the opposite side of the sticker, but the knife is factory-new. I'll get a photo of this up as well, but here's a stock one...

And last, I got a C34, Jess Horn II in plain edge. There is no box, and the knife appears to have been sharpenend, but I see no actual use. I'll get a photo up of this as well.

I'm not looking to sell or trade unless something really great comes along; I just want to know how much they're worth so I can keep a record. I'll be insuring a lot of my things, and knives make up a good deal of that.
Thanks all.
 
Last year, a NIB PE G-10 Navigator would have been worth around $100 - $125, perhaps even a bit more. Hard to say today. Prices I've seen on eBay for most "collectible" Spyderco knives are down anywhere from 20% to 40% or more.

Vagabond was a neat idea, had excellent handle, but the blade was a poor choice, IMHO. With a nice thin blade, like the K05 Utility Knife's, it might have sold better. But I digress, it never caught. MSRP was $40, but when they show up on ebay they generally sell for less than half that.

As for the C34 Horn. Lack of box and sharpening lower the value, but a PE C34 would still probably fetch $75 or more. If it's a Baby Horn, it would be worth more.
