I took a gamble on what looked like a stripped Yard Keeper on Ebay last Friday. The seller evidently didn't know much about it as the listing said that it might be a Dumpster Mutt but they didn't know. It arrived today and I got a nice surprise, it's not a stripped Yardkeeper, it's an LE. The blade had a weird discoloration, not rust but I don't know what it was, anyway a quick pass over the buffing wheel and it is shiny as new. It looks to have been used a little but not sharpened. I'm pretty new to the yard and as such kind of ignorant about a lot of things. Can any of you guys give me an idea what this is actually worth? ![[Linked Image from i903.photobucket.com]](http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac235/bigpapawoo/P1020630.jpg) Thanks, Neugene

Walker just brought to my attention that it might be taboo to discuss pricing on the forum. If so, I apologize.

Yard Keeper LEs were released at Blade 2007. You won't find them on the Scrap Yard knives page because they weren't sold through the store. However, a limeted number were sold in a post-Blade Dog Bowl (much like a 'ganza on this site, but don't get too excited, they're an artifact of the old business model). The release price for YKLEs was $129.95 + S&H (as opposed to $79.95 for CGs).

Neugene No worries. It's OK to discuss prices when released. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Congrats on a great score!

Thanks for all the input guys. Since it was a "limited release" and has been used lightly, should I use it like I intended to when I thought it was a stripped CG or put it up and keep it nice and shiny?

Ha! I saw that one and realized it was a YK LE. I had a bid on it when you nailed it with buy it now.
The price you paid is about right for the aftermarket.
There is one on BF for a little more but it is mint.
Use it and enjoy it. I have one that I use and love. It feels great in the hand and you know that is one tough little blade that will give you years of good use.

Neugene Use it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I use all my knives ....but then again I only own SY knives and they were meant to be beaten. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I have never hunted an animal, but Ill make an exception for Micheal Vick!

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.
