Nope, not too much. Shop around the various sites (including the Benchmade Forums) and on eBay, they're out there.

One more thing...with Ti handles that show scuffs just by breathing on them I've begun to seek out light users already broken in. Even then these things hold onto their value.

Thanks Joe! Would $250 for a used/LNIB be considered too much to pay, or put another way, would it be reasonable to think if I waited, I could find either a NIB or LNIB for less? I'm in no rush!

NIB 630 will go for $200 and on up, depending on what you want for it and what the buyer's willing to spend. Given they're discontinued, both 635 and 630 models are drawing higher prices as they disappear into safes and sock drawers.

Does anyone know what a LNIB Skirmish BM630 might be worth? I know that's a subjective question and I'm only looking for a guesstimate. Any thoughts?

Nice choices of knives Kevin, esp. nice combo is that sand handled 550BK Grip. And yes, welcome to the addiction...once bitten (or chosen) I don't think there is a cure...(;-)

After seeing the post by Joe about the 14205 I had to go get another one before they got scarce and more expensive. While I was at it, just to make it worth the shipping, I added a couple others I've been considering for awhile. Nothing left to do now but  bask in the afterglow of another Benchmade shipment coming to me....yes!!! I will be getting a BM14205BK H&K Snody, BM740BK Dejavoo and and a BM550BK Sand handle scales....I already feel comfortable here....whoever named this group sure nailed it...Benchmade addiction....I feel like I found a 12 step program... :-)

Hi guys! I love this group! I'm a newbie to this forum (not to knife collecting) and I really like Benchmade knives. Joe, I see earlier in this discussion, you mentioned the 14205...I picked one up (new) and love it. When I first got it, the action was a bit sticky so I used a few drops of CLP and worked it in while watching TV. Within a day or two it was as smooth as silk. Now, it has become one of my favorite BMs. I can't keep my hands off of it. (The name of this group is appropriate - Benchmade Addicts). I do have a question please? Does anyone know if there is a way to determine when BM is going to stop production of a model? I am tempted to pick up another 14205, just to have a spare. Thanks all, I enjoy the posts and look forward to getting to know you folks a little better.

Nice knife in the original packaging. Rough value: $225 or so...that Ares is hard to find. The estimate of value is just IMO.

Hello, I just traded for a Benchmade Ares 733-02 Limited Edition # 384 of 500, Winewood handle,  New in the Aluminum Box still with the cardboard sleeve still around it, and was wondering if I got beat or not....what's these things worth.

Thanks
