well, PARTS on that gun were about $1000.
The upper, despite its slick looks which I hope will allow it to tell for a high price, really didn't cost me any more than a normal looking upper.

putting together and upper receiver can be a little tricky from the perspective that it requires a few specific tools. But the lowers are easy to put together without any tools, except maybe a cheap butt stock wrench. you may also want to spend the extra $15 on a "bolt catch pin punch" from brownells... I'm very glad I did for mine, saves you from scratching your new receiver.

Did a trade yesterday. I met a guy and traded my Remington 700 .22-250 for a Sig P226 9mm

Wideners had some police trade in P225's for $425 last month... I almost picked up one. Sure it's used, but its a P226!

Dunno if you made a typo there, but the P225 and P226 are not the same gun. The 225 has a single column magazine, the 226 uses double stack.

If that wasn't a typo chances, are I'm not telling you anything you didn't know already.

I think Wideners did have the 225. It's the same gun pretty much, but as your stated single stack. I believe all the 225s you see for sale used are German police trade-ins.

Beretta 92FS was the first to own and still have it years later. Hoping to one day build an AR and currently doing some shopping for another Glock for the wife. Any recommendations on the Glock?
