Knife Values - Need Help Figuring Out My Father-In-Laws Collection

Hi

I am new to the knife world as my Father-in-law just passed away and he had a real nice collection of Benchmade knifes. I would like to determine the value of the knives for my mother-in-law. All the knives are in a benchmade box, never used, and look brand new. Any help putting a value on each knife would be appreciated. I have had very little luck finding values using google and Ebay. I suspect a lot has to do with my ignorance of this subject. I posted the list below, but lost a lot of formatting from my spreadsheet. If you have questions let me know. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sorry for your loss towpilot.

I wanted to point out that the 706-02 is very rare. Was only supposed to be 50pcs as a limited edition, but I see a note that we canceled production. I don't have any certainties on how many are out there, but it has an MSRP of $450 if that helps.

Good luck. Great bunch of members on this forum.

I once saw a 706-02 close at higher than 600 dollars on ebay. That said, I know people here have got them much cheaper.

I have seen a few go around 450.00, problem with this guys it has no markings on the blade, you may take a beating on resale with no benchmade markings, tough to prove.

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a 706-02 as an gift with an engagement ring for my girlfriend. We both collect Benchmades and this is one that would be very special. If anyone is willing to sell one I assure you it will be for a very sentimental gift.

Please PM me if you have one you are willing to part with.

Cheers,

Hi,

I hate to tell you, but I just sold the last 706. I am pretty well wrapping up the sales. I wish you the best in your search and in your engagement. That sounds like the way to do it. May you have a lifetime of joyful marriage.
