    Sigs aren't really collector guns unless you have a P210.

      $550 to $650 would be reasonable.

      To appreciate the beauty of a SIG Sauer, you have to shoot it.
      Long live CALGUNS!

        For $569, I'd buy it. It's personal preference whether or not you'll prefer the stamped slide German SIGs, but many people do.

        Buy it as a shooter, you'll have a higher ROI investing it in a CD, even at today's crappy interest rate. Shoot it and have fun.

          Thanks for the input. He wants $600, so I guess it is not the "deal of the century."

            $600 for a never shot Sig 226 is a good deal. I'd jump on it. Lot's of people think the older Sigs were better.
            I think it can be confirmed that an alien xenomorph is absolutely no match for good ole' Alabama black snake!

            and

            If you're in a survival movie and the hot blond twists her ankle and can't walk, you damn well figure a way to carry her. If it's a dude, you shake his hand and say "best of luck".

              You might want to field strip it and give it a good once over. There was a post on another forum a while back about a NIB S&W semi-auto from the late 80's. The pictures from the outside made it look perfect but when disassembled gun had a bunch of rust inside. It wasn't apparently stored properly and moisture got to it.

              If you're buying used, or old in this case, make sure you check every inch of the weapon

                Investment? The current owner wants $31.00 more than he paid for it 21 years ago? I am not thinking that is a good investment...course, I don't look at guns in that light, I shoot all of mine much as I can.

                  I have 2 226 9mm from around that time. They are better than the newer 226's that you can find in stores now. $600 is a good price assuming it's in good condition. Have someone familiar with Sigs check it out if you are not. Then go for it.

                      Thanks everyone. I decided to buy it, after reading your comments. It is just PERFECT inside and out.

                        $600 for NIB Sig P226 is very good price of this day. YES in not "Deal of the century" but is very nice deal for someone who pay $750 +tax+dros for new sig this day.
                        if U like it and have money, take it.
                        U can buy CPO Sig P226 for less may be $450-550 but is not NIB and old Sig is litter in vaule for someone.
