I have one of these and would totally sell it if they are worth this. I ask because the price seems too high and it was the only listing I saw.

I've no clue. But put yours up for $385. Maybe we'll see a nice inflationary trend.

See, this is how a trend is started!  :D

Mine has the patent pending stamp, so you would think that makes it at least as good. If I list it I will give MTO a shot first at a discount of course

It is true in that someone is trying to sell it for that.

It is not true in the fact that is not a realistic value for it.  I would say $100 would be a bit more accurate, assuming it is in good shape.  That having been said, I have a Micra that I will sell you for $10,000.  It's not worth that much, but all I need is one person to buy it and I'm good for a while!

Thats what I figured it was worth, and why I was shocked to see it listed so high. I bought it for 50 bucks (i think)about 6-8 months ago I would guess. For 100 dollars I will likely keep it, but I will watch that one on FleaBay and if it sells for that price I may have to list mine.

Having said that, anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If he gets a buyer, yup, it's worth it.

Like Nix said, put yours for sale at $385. Wait some time, maybe you discover it's worth that much.

What are you the TSA?  :D

The Micra is actually one of the best Leatherman models ever in my mind... but thanks to the TSA they are virtually worthless as you can buy them by the pound for very little, same as Victorinox Classics.

Getting back to the original discussion, I hate to say it but Santos is absolutely, 100% correct.

Scary but true- while everyone else is working to sell 100 tools for a dollar, why not sell one tool at $100 and save your energy?  :D

When I look at bulk buying from TSA lots and the like I generally don't count Classics, Squirts, Micras, Esquires and similar tools as being worth anything, at least not financially as there is virtually no resale on them.

As far as function goes mind you, I feel like they are some of the best tools out there.  In fact, a Micra was my first Leatherman, and if I hadn't decided to take a chance on it there would be no Multitool.org today.

Well, they can be used for modding, creating other more useful (to you or others) models. Or to spread the word amongst the uneducated.

Awlso... thank you, Micra!
