Ti Handled Police Model

I would like to know what a titanium handled police model spyderco is worth? It is in mint condition, but without the box and is serrated. Only 600 were made, 300 serrated and 300 plain edge. I'm in the process of working out a trade and I need to know what it is worth.
thanks

Where's your info from? I spoke with someone at Spyderco on the phone (I'm not saying this authoritative, just saying where the info came from; it could have been a janitor for all I know) and they said that only two types of Ti-handled Police Models were made: fully serrated and 50/50. They said that my version, fully serrated, had been made in numbers "under 1,000" and sold through Spyderco normally. They also said that the 50/50s had been a special order from Cutlery Shoppe and they could not for that reason disclose how many were made.

I thought I had "the story," and now I'm not sure. Sal? Danelle?

The easiest way to find out is:

Post it in the for sales section (or ebay.com) and wait for the offers. Like most of the things on the market, a knife is worth what others are willing to pay for it. Than it's up to you if you are willing to sell it for that.
 
I have one, too, but I won't part with it. Sal stated that there were 600 full serrated made. They were available from Cutlery Shoppe
originally, and only full serrations. The 30/70 serrations were made for about a year, and then D/C'd. There was never a true 50/50 serrated made. The serrations were pretty minimal, which made it pretty unpopular with my customers. Originally, Cutlery Shoppe sold them for $130.00 delivered. Retail on the 70/30 was $299.00. However, it's worth whatever you can get for it. I wouldn't part with mine for less than $350, but wouldn't buy one for more than $150.

Shoulda put this above, but, oh, well. I never ever saw a plain edge Titanium Police, not even in the catalogs. I doubt there were ever any made. Cutlery Shoppe's special run was of only fully serrated edges.
