Sigma Mandolin by CF Martin

[Tailspin]

A friend of mine bought a music store that I used to go to in the 70s. I loved this F-Style mandolin that they always had in there so my friend sold it to me for 200 dollars. It plays great. Its a Sigma Mandolin and the sticker inside says CF Martin Co. Made in Korea. It is in near perfect condition. I have looked all over the internet for some info on them and I can seem to find any. The Price tag from 20 years ago read 900.00 but I also know that the store was a be pricey. The question is, any one have any idea as to the value of this mandolin? Approximatly?

I have a mid-90's A style. Plywood and Nato. My first mando. I got it for $200 back then.

They show up on eBay now and again. You probably paid about what it's worth. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1993-Sigma-Mandolin-Model-SM-6S-by-C-F-Martin-Co_W0QQitemZ7409182397QQcategoryZ10179QQssPa
