That kinda depends on what you mean by "a good price". I saw one for sale
last Saturday at a PNTC meeting in Seattle. It was a Stanley #9 in mint
condition, complete with the hot dog. The price? $2,100. I'd say that would be
a good price--if you are the seller and if you can find a buyer at that price.
