Welcome to the forum BigJohnnyO!
As Wulff mentioned you're looking at an AFCK. It's value really depends on the exact model and blade steel. If its an 800HS (could be from your picture) you're looking somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 to $450. Price dependent on who is selling it and the condition of the AFCK. Stop by the pawn shop and grab the model number off the end of the box. The label will tell you exactly what that particular AFCK is. Of course only if it is the original Benchmade labeled box.

How much does the P shop want for it?

/|\ That looks like an early model AFCK ( advance folding combat knife) as I don’t see the axis lock so it is a liner lock with liners of titanium & 154 blade. Feels great in hand as light weight Ti makes it fast in hand. The clip is right side top down carry. After the blade came out 1/8th of an inch & stabbed me, I regulated to carry in briefcase where tip down is preferable as it keeps the pivot out of dust that collects at bottom of pocket. While latter models got the axis lock it required steel liners, so knife isn’t as lively in hand as original.
Regardless which model would be a good pick up (dependent on price & condition)1 -
Probably model 800 ........... could be 804 I suppose , but I dont know much
Never mind 804 ...........lol........ I believe 804 had an oval openning hole .....lol

He’s overpriced, but that’s what they do. It’s priced at $598, I’m thinking half that much

It's an 800. 804 did have the oval, also didn't have the bold "USA" etched under the b'fly.
Check the other side of the blade, should say either M2/HSS or ATS-34. M2 is the better steel.
You posted as I was writing. Half-price would be good for M2.

That would be a nice pick up.
