If right handed, If with pretty wood, if with long length of pull?

Is it a 470NE or a 500NE?

If all of those are true-true-true and it has no other upgrades whatsoever, probably $22.5k-$25k

Me so poor !

The value is whatever someone is willing to pay. Given the long lead times, you might be able to sell it for what one would cost today accounting for a “no wait” premium.

I know of someone looking for a used 470 willing to pay what or slightly above a new one if it’s in good shape because they don’t have the “time to wait”.

 

[mitch4570]

That would be me.

 

[Mtn_Infantry]

Welcome to a long list … price out one how you want and add a 25-30% premium.

They do come up from time to time because humans are human, and crisis come up from time to time.

I had to sell my Heym not long ago because A.) I don't have a DG hunt planned as I'm focused on teens readying for college this year, and B.) I had a $45,000 bill to repair my driveway.

They do come up, but they usually sell fairly fast. If they are underweight, or in an undesirable caliber, or if they are left handed they can languish for a very long period of time, however.

I'm finding that out. I am on all the gun shops list to contact me if one become available. I have been waiting for a long time.

Not sure your age or future hunt plans, but I’d suggest ordering one if it needs to be a Heym.
If you find one before it’s ready you sell it post hunt, or sell the one you have on order when it’s ready. I don’t see the demand decreasing or production increasing substantially enough where you won’t break even. We’re all getting one day closer to our last day

Guns International has an 88B in 500 NE listed

 

[mitch4570]

That rifle was sold long ago. It's marked sold on the champlin site. Otherwise I would buy it.

Also a couple of 470 NE as well. Champlin is the seller

Sorry. I hate when they don't remove sold items they have listed

All three of the Heyms offered by Champlin sold eons ago. I don't know why Champlin does that, but 99% of their ads on Guns International are sold. Same story on his direct website. It's strange.

George at Champlin is not very tech savvy.... He does know doubles. There are a lot out there right now, you just have to dig and look at a lot to find what you want.... Also, bring a lot of money.

Amazing isn't it. Weren't some declaring the double rifle market as dead just a couple of years ago? Even with ammo hard to source for some calibers, interest appears to be on the rise,

you know whats funny, before my 2018 safari, I used to try and find as much content or videos I could of elephant hunts. And the one wildtv provider had many seasons of african shows, and they would have full seasons with elephant hunts removed. I made me frustrated to no end.

I am so glad to see the resurgance in doubles

When the PH model was introduced, it was $13-14k. No movement on the secondary market.

Mitch, I am not sure if they are still doing the 100% engraving free PH any longer. The border scroll version of the 89b was just around $35k for those guns delivered beginning of the year. That’s for an 89b, but Chris Sells will confirm that ordered today the 88b and the 89b are both the exact same price now.

What are the wait times if I ordered one tomorrow?
