Sigma (by Martin) is a bit like Squier (by Fender) or Epiphone (by Gibson). The 'value' end of a well-known make. The DM1 can still be bought new for ca US$250, so this should give you an idea on the value of yours, depending on its condition. Hope this helps.

You're welcome. Another way of getting a 'street' price is to go to eBay, search "Sigma DM1" and click on the "completed listings" button. Hopefully, this will tell you what they have sold for recently.

went to ebay, so many guitars, so confusing. Mine is a model that was made in Korea and then i believe finished in the US. Not sure though. I sent an email to Martin Guitars so we will see if they even respond.
Thanks again.

It's not exactly the same model, but you could watch this one:

and see what happens. It's a pawnshop, so the selling price may be low. Most people would prefer to bid from a complete stranger than a pawnshop (a stranger may be dodgy, but a pawnshop...)

Well done Bass, yet another satisfied customer, 10p in the holiday fund, kerching!

If I can get the necessary air miles, I'd prefer the beer to the 10p :)
