Sig Sauer clever marketing department have come up with their own Cash for Klunkers program.
Purchase a new SIG SAUER® P220®, P226®, P229®, 1911, SIG556 pistol, or SIG556 rifle from your dealer’s inventory from September 7th through November 30th, 2009, and SIG SAUER will give you $200.00 for your old KLUNKER* pistol or revolver.
Good move Sig!
Thanks to Adam for the link.
I wonder what the asterick beside the word Klunkers mean…

0Come on. Unless you are going to upgrade your 15 year old RG 22 for a new SIG [if SIG would accept an RG to begin wtih], this is simply ridiculous. You can sell any handgun that SIG is likely to grant you the $200 trade-in on [there are restrictions, after all] for at least that much, or more. Nice marketing, but not really a very good deal.
0 0yes! I’ve had a contribution to the internet!
Now I’m off to buy a brand new high point to trade in!
0 0Why have I got the strange feeling that every used pistol on Gunbroker worth less then $200 will be suddenly snapped up over the next couple of months?
Just when you thought you’d never re-sell that Hi-Point pistol you ‘love’ so much.
I guess the panic buying is finally over.
