I think it would sell for that, or close to it, on eBay. The used Hetchins market is really, really odd...you can get a brand new Hetchins frame for $1500'ish. I could see paying this for an older-pre BJ Hetchins, but not for that one. I also don't think that was their high level model. The price difference between the really desirable Hetchins bikes and the ones like this doesn't really reflect the difference.
I'd rather have an Ephgrave to be honest.
