You payed about the right price for one if it was used, and still like new. Retail is about 130 bucks for NIB.
Benchmade was making the CQC for some time, and they had a difference of opinion with E.Emerson and that knife was dropped from Benchmades line. Emerson is making them now... He charges a little more for them for some reason. But sounds like you got a good deal on it.

One thing - the knife should have a chisle grind - if you have a grind on both sides of the blade, then you have a knock off copy, valued at about 15 bucks.
