Traded for a P95. The Sigma has left the building!

To me that actually seems a bit low with all the accessories. Someone may slap me, but I think $400 would be more than fair. But I wish i had the cash! Good luck to you....I like my fathers Sigma in 40.

this Pistol must be the equivalent of the Plague. No bites anywhere!

My case in particular, I don't care about the holsters or the extra ammo. So those have very little value to me. They may mean a lot to you because those were your choices in holsters. Not me. I'm focusing on the gun alone so in my view your price is more than what I can buy the gun brand new retail. It's like selling a car with a built in car seat. Not everyone has kids. You might try pricing the extras separately and offer a discount for buying for multiple items.

Propellerhead, that is excellent advice. In my case, I personally already own multiple holsters, more than one of which are not particularly gun-specific, so I can buy another gun without necessarily requiring another holster. I also own enough rounds in several calibers (including my favored .45) to support just about any new purchase, unless I get a wild hair and purchase a .44 Magnum.
So, to further your point, the focus is the gun. Buying a gun new and then firing 600 rounds through it depreciates its value well below the market valuation for a NIB gun.
PBWalker, used firearm valuation can be tricky, but (as noted already) this firearm is already priced on the market new below what you are asking for the total package. That being said, my recommendation is for you to try dropping the package price to $300 and set the pistol-only price at $240 or $250. That's just my opinion. You will take a financial loss, but you did enjoy 600 rounds of utility, so it really comes down to how badly you wish to sell this firearm.

thanks for the input folks. It is *much* appreciated. I'll be updating my original post!
