Sierra's list price is $1495 USD, so if this is a used instrument, it will be worth less than that. You don't see a lot of these out there, which I think says something for their quality.

Ernest, a few of these Sierra 8 string lap steels (used ones) have sold on this forum in past years, and they usually sell for about $900 to $950.

For what it's worth, I have one of these and looooove it. Full, warm tone and killer sustain. I got mine through a trade, but $900 to $950 sounds about right.
