Best way to do it is to go on to ebay - type in Raleigh Grifter in the search box and click on "Completed Items".
Had a quick look and between £40 (good) - £100(Excellent) depending on spec and condition.

Sold a very clean one at a boot fair this summer for £20.  They dont make that much ate so aim at 20 - 40.  Unless its the black limited edition.  Then upto £80 depending on condition.

we used to call it "slip gear"

bit like the pot luck gears on a chopper too.
nutriding the t-handle gear knob wasnt fun.
