[NW-GSP]

Im looking at buying a used sig p229 and the guy says he paid $1100 for it when he bought it new and is asking $900 for it,
is that a good price?

I quick survey of gunbroker....870 and up is what I found    that said sigs are good and they seem to hold their value pretty well....

I've owned 2 P229's and $900 is about right, depending on wear.

That sounds way high for a used 229

Sorry for the ugly links but do some quick Google searching, Gunbroker is the place to go if you want to find out just how bat*censored* crazy people are with HIGH prices. You can find good deals there but they are few and far between.

As long as you are looking at used guns, here is a decent price on a 229 in 40.

Here is a NEW 229 in 357 Sig for $842 (you have to login to get the price).

thanks guys I just didnt want to get buyers remorse, I shot it and loved it.

I am actually buying it for my future wife, I have had her shoot a long list of semi auto pistols and this one is by far the one that fit her hands the best and shot the best groups with.
