25th anniversary Leatherman Charge AL price estimation

[mrHat]

Ok, long story short... I sent this 25th anniversary leatherman charge al to leatherman for warranty due to broken pliers tip and they returned a brand new charge al with the 25th anniversary plate switched from the old one. This was such a nice touch for them to do but I want to sell it now and I really don't know if to sell it as a colectable (if it still has any value this way) or just as a plain used charge al (used due to the fact they have put the old plate in there which shows signs of wear). Please help out on how to estimate the value on this one. Please look at the photos for the real thing. Thank you!

Dang that's crazy. What did you select on the warranty page?

[mrHat]

I selected absolutely nothing heh.. no sentimental value no nothing!

If it were me, id sell it as a used 25th anniversary Charge Al. It doesn't have nearly as much value as a collectors piece because its used, and has "wear marks" but, because this ins't your garden variety Charge, it probably has a bit of a premium over a NIB Charge AL anyhow. This used 25th Anniversary Wave sold for about $75 on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leatherman-25th-Anniversary-Wave-Used-with-Special-Nylon-Sheath-/281781047899?hash=item419b75925b:g:kxAAAOSwDNdV2mcD so I would imagine yours is worth at least that, as it is a Charge, and yours seems to be rarer than the 25th Waves.

Of course I'm not a collector, so what do I know.

I think slaughtermed is close.

 
I think if you weren't in a rush you could get atleast 100 considering that's what most Charges go for off the forum.

Is that the only difference from the 25th anniversary one to the stock one is the "plate"?  It doesn't really matter if not but you really don't have a 25th anniversary Charge now, do you?  Isn't it just a Charge with a the added plate or am I missing something?  Sorry if I am! 

I have no idea on pricing but I have purchased new Charge AL's for about $65 and a new without box Charge Ti for less than $100 so I guess I would say somewhere in between but just a guess!

"The Late Boyscout" has one on youtube. I wonder what he paid.

I still have no idea how to sell this

You could always list it on the bay. Worst thing that happens is if goes at auction for what a normal AL goes for, best  is that a couple collectors go for a bidding war and it sells high.

Or just hang onto it for a few years until 25 anniversary Charges get REALLY scarce, and sell then
