Value question 2002 Mnandi?

[Brocket21]

Hello All,

Just getting back into the knife collectinggame after being gone for about 10 years. Looking to sell my 2002 Bocote Mnandi with born on card, box and tool. It’s been carried in an office environment but has seen almost no use and still has factory edge on it. Pristine condition. Any idea what I should ask as a fair price? Does the older age help or hurt the desirability and value? Thanks!

The 11th commandment:
Thou shalt not ask a value without at least Gold level membership.

That might be in the ~$500 range depending on figure. Older generally helps with CRK, as does original paperwork and condition. “Old nick” Mnandi's (those with the blasted/sharper nail nick) are (slightly?) more desirable by collectors and users alike and will help increase the value.

What? Or are you saying “don't ask about value if I can't PM you so I can offer to buy it?”

I don’t make the rules but I do try to follow them.

My bad. I’ll up to Gold level. I’m going to be on this site a lot so I should contribute.

You will need the Gold to sell also. Along with it's other benefits(as well as supporting the site) it is well worth the money IMO

The new ones are 375. Value doesn't drop much on a CRK.

The old style nail nick should mean a premium over the new price of $400. I’d say $500 is fair. A couple of Mnandi LNIB went for around $600 recently.

The birth date will also increase the value for some looking for that particular date.
