Worth it?

DeathBySnooSnoo · #1

Original Manix, lightly used $200.

Good deal or bad?

What Color? Scratched? Box?

Black, in box, minor wear on the clip, otherwise like new.

Spyderbro · #4

Worth somewhere's around the $100-$120's...ish :)

Maybe if it is combo edge and your lucky day. I think the lottery has better odds.

seems high,$140 and up if it is in good shape..................

Hard tellin' what lightly used means. At least it has the box, that's a good sign...

pics would be extremely useful right about now if you're asking about price.

As far as worth it goes, it all depends on a collector. I'd pay up to $300 for a dodo, but that doesn't mean its worth it to someone else. If you like it for the price, than its worth it.

Thanks everyone for your input. So if I could bargain down to about $140-150, that would be an ok deal you think?

Box & all tells me it's taken care of? Are you gonna use it?

Recently I saw on few occasions NIB C95 PE sold around $240-270. I can be wrong, but if the only deviation from mint is minor wear on the clip, I think $200 is about right. And if will be able to get it for $140-150, than that will be your lucky day.
Good luck. C95 is the great knife and IMHO is the best Manix ever made.

I agree with bh49. If it's a C95 PE with "minor wear on the clip, otherwise like new" I would say more like $170–$200. A year ago NIB were going for over $200.00.

Possibly. I have been using my Manix 2 since I got it, but I like the longer and still heavy blade of the original, so there is a good possibility that I might very well use it at least as an option for daily carry..

I have seen them in a range, a few go as high as about $250, but as low as $150. Those are all LNIB or NIB....so I was thinking that the $200 was a good start but I thought that maybe closer to $150 was a better place to be.

Ok good to know. Thanks everyone...I really appreciate all your advice.

Not that it matters for a user but just fyi, there were two models in black. Basically a first and second version. You can tell by the jimping and the spydie bug. I would put a user in excellent shape at around $140-$160, and NIB around $180-$190, the Green Sprint around $200-$220. Just my humble opinion, good luck.

Depends on how bad you want it. Someone who already has an original C95 and considers it to be something they want extras of will pay top dollar and be happy they got it. Someone who is just curious after hearing others rave about it may not. I'd call 200 a bit high, if it's PE, and quite a bit high if it's combo, but I'm not one of "true believers".

Is it a C101 or a C95 orig Manix?
