PT 525 value?
on: January 08, 2016, 01:46:31 AM
Ive recently picked up what appears to be a brand new Paladin PT 525 multi tool with sheath and manual, and have no clue on what its value is, other than a pretty ambiguous "more than a new PowerLock, less than a Boy Scout OC Pioneer." EBay has a couple listed as sold for around $100, another for about $50, another at $20 (I can only assume based on the items description that the poor schmuck had no clue what he was selling). There is also one currently being bid on that is up to $50 with two daya left (I think I will likely use this listing as a ball park estimate).
Does $100 for one of these sound right? Ive already listed it at $100 on ebay mostly based on the high listings, just for yucks. I know its a collectable at this point, but that still feels pretty steep.

Any thoughts?

Most PT-525s seem to have sold in the range $90 - $110, so $100 seems to be a reasonable starting figure, and gives you the option to accept a lower offer if it doesn't sell at $100.  The Paladin tools have been discontinued, so unless a stash of them comes on the market I don't see the price going down much in the longer term.
