That is because of the quality. The German and West German Sigs are the new 57 Chevrolet of handguns. And in the current climate they will only go North. Buckle your seatbelt. Glad I held onto mine.

Yeah, and water it wet. The older German SIGS are not made anymore so since they are a nicely made gun their value goes up Pedo Joe or not. Same reason the West German SIGS are even more than the German SIGS.

I bought a 1991 Sig 228 in pristine shape with three thirteen magazines for $950 USD on January 31st. It goes well with my 1988 P226 and 1994 Sig P229 .40 S&W.
Sig P series pistols IMHO are stupid easy to work on; not as easy as Glock or even S&W M&P’s, but with the Sig Combination tool plus the half moon punch it can easily be taken apart. I am looking for a P229R, even a DAK to convert over to DA/SA, and they are close or over $600. |

I debated selling my MK25 not long ago, as it was a California model, but apparently those are going for even higher amounts now as the people in Cali. want them even more. I bought it years ago from a gun shop pretty cheap and made a decent profit on it. The P228 I had years ago was a pistol I never should have sold.

I never thought I would part with mine, but I did put my 93 West German P228 on SigTalk and the EE last year and had no takers for $1,000...just tire kickers.
  I suppose it didn't help that I was only willing to do F2F and was only including the 2 mags that came with it. I have 8 OEM Sig mags for her, 4 pre-ban and 4 post-ban.  Perhaps I'll try again. Getting old enough that I'm thinking of lightening my load a bit. Just need to determine what the pricing would be in this new world. |

Love my P228, also my first handgun purchase. Nothing pointed as naturally in my hand as one of them did. Don’t shoot it as much any more which is a shame due to lack of backup parts.

It’s not just the W. German ones.
When the P220 Legion Carry SAO, limited series of 500, was released back in Nov (MSRP $1,329) prices on Gunbroker for them immediately shot up north of $3,000.  My LGS is a Master Dealer for SIG so I was able to get one at $1,190 when they arrived at the store. All 3 that came in that day were gone within the hour. |

Gun prices are ridiculous at this point; bought a pristine P228 DAO for $950 with three original zipper back magazines for my birthday. Getting parts Saturday to convert it over to DA/SA. I have been looking at used P229’s .40 S&W as a fun project to rebuild, even in DAK. prices are sky high right now compared to 2019. That and a H&K USP-9, the only gun I ever regretted selling

Down here, prices on Sigs are a bit higher but not what I'd call outrageous.
I'm seeing NIB samples selling at MSRP, no discounting at all. I figure that with emptying shelves they are having a tough time replacing stock and need to elevate the selling price a bit to help keep the doors open. Recently I replaced a P229 that I sold a long time ago with an identical lightly used two barrel sample in 99% condition for just north of $700. It's not plastic and IMO worth it. |

I lost three auctions on Gunbroker for three beat up P229 .40 S&W I was going. To strip down and rebuild with shirt bobbed hammer, Gray Guns internals, Hogue G10 grips, Trijicon night sights, and Cerekoted M-17 FDE. All three went for Mid $500 to $600 USD. A Year ago those guns were $349 used. For that price I ended up buying a P365 with four twelve round magazines and still waiting for my work P320.

Bought a pristine Sig P228 DAO (1991 gun) with three original zipper magazines but no box for my birthday last month; just converted it to DA/SA, and added SRT package, TJ Cuatoms blackened stainless steel grip screw and TJ Customs stainless steel Teflon coated short trigger . It has Trijicon night sights that were dead, so I sent slide back to Trijicon for re-lamp. For $57 USD it is a hard dead to beat.
