WAY too much!! Buyer beware.
Thats the price I paid for the identical sig a couple of months ago. The siglite sites make it run about $100.00 more than the regular sites. The place I bought mine from is a little bit high priced compared to some shops, But they had interest free financing and I couldn't help myself! I've always been told, The best price on something is the price that two people agree on. 
Sounds high, but not outrageous. Check www.auctionarms.com and www.gunbroker.com. They are excellent sites (no, I don't work for them) if you want to purchase, or give good pricing info if you want to comparison shop.
Supply vs. Demand
Popeye,
It really depends on the supply (aka: availability) vs.
demand (your locale), regarding the Sig-Sauer P229.
I went through a similar situation back in December
of 1995, here in Bombingham, AL. The .40 caliber
P229 was a hot item; being bought up by several
major police department's in my area. One shop
had a NIB P229 with factory SigLite night sight's
and two ten round magazine's. Guess what the
price was? $760.00 + 8% sales tax; for a grand
total of $813.20. That was my price, and at the
time I was a LEO!!!
Anyway, I wanted a P229 bad; so I went ahead
and was foolish enough to lay out my hard earned
cash. Regret's? Yes, indeed. Cuz me and the .40
caliber P229 could not stay happily married; as I
should never have divorced my Sig P220 .45ACP.
I'm back home to stay- so, the choice is yours.

I've had a 228 and a European 220 both of which I regretfully sold. Now I've got the Sig bug again. I'm kinda anal about the finish on my guns, and all the used Sigs I've seen around here look pretty beat. $800 seems $50 to $75 high but I've really got the urge. Add to that I've got a couple .40 Sig high caps in my attic and the gun is hard to pass up.
Thanks much for all the comments/ suggestions.
