Depends a lot on condition.  I've sold good users that were cleaned for 
$25.00 that needed a sharpening but that ain't too bad with those guys.  
Some of the collectible and early makers I can get more.  Obviously a 
good handle is a must.   Light checks at the ends aren't much of a 
problem, bigger checks through the entire handle are.  A couple or three 
worm holes aren't bad but once they get that Swiss cheese look, the 
handle is pretty much history.

Just another point of information, you will get very creative with the 
cussing while using one of those big ones, depending on the wood being 
bored......
