What's a good price to pay for a Carolina-branded Mr. Pinchy?

1st generation Carolina version of the Mr. Pinchy, with the more interesting plier head. What's a decent price? How will it compare to a Remgrit MP600?

A good price is: not too high

The Carolina (and Renegade & Winchester) branded copies of the famed "Mr Pinchy" are significantly lower quality than the genuine Gerber MTs.

I'm guessing the pliers are probably a fishing MT style, this variant is reasonably common in the Renegade & Winchester brands.

The head looks just like this one:

Ten bucks, and I feel that's being generous. While they're some of the better low-end ones (I own a Winchester with the fishing head, with which the plier head went directly in a Gerber USA Mr. Pinchy), I don't feel they're worth the $20 or so a Mr. Pinchy/Multi-Plier usually goes for in used condition. I think the Winchester actually went for $10 new.

Those old Carolina tools are actually good quality. The later versions not so much. As for price...that depends on what a collector is willing to pay for one.
