I like this knife in the black handle. About how much is it going for? I have seen as high as $170 and as low as $60 :x

Not to be a wiseguy, but it seems like you've answered your own question, at least regarding current "asking" prices. Realistic selling prices may be another matter.

According to the data in Spyderwiki the Sprint Run black almite VG-10 Co-Pilot had a MSRP of $94.95 when it was issued back in 2006 so at that time the "street price" would probably have been in the $60 to $70 range. As for what folks looking for one today will actually pay, I'd imagine most would consider somewhere between original street price and MSRP as their upper limit. However, if someone wants one badly enough and has grown tired of looking they might be willing to spend considerably more.

The original dark grey almite ones in GIN-1/G-2 are probably worth more from a collectors POV.

Not all that long ago you could pick up the black-handled CoPilot from the 2006 Sprint Run in the $50-60 range and they were available all over the place. Since then things have changed a little bit. They've gotten a little harder to find and the price seems to have risen slightly. I'd consider anything in the $60-$80 range a fair price. Anything over that seems somewhat inflated right now.

This knife was made in a Sprint Run of 1200 pieces. It is the smoothest-opening CoPilot ever made (and I can safely say that from handling more than a few CoPilot varieties...)

ehh, sorry... think I bought New Graham's last one during the Xmas shopping season. Don't see it on their site anymore, but for reference, I paid about $59.
