Difficult to say a 'right' price. Think how easy/hard would it be to find another set. If you're happy to pay that and can afford it, then that's it's a good deal. I'm sure quite a few of us have paid so called high prices for things, only to see others come up for sale cheaper, but sometimes not. I paid £320 for a NOS set of green/blue/white label comp ST's - had been after some for a while, and had missed out on a much cheaper set, so thought what the hell  :)

And the worst damned tyres going too. They are no good for anything but what the label says, pool riding. And with the weather in the UK, they couldn't stick to anything.

I pity the fool who buys them, if any.

Am unused set of these which look in better condition sold on bmx museum in October 2015. The asking price was $300 usd (£205), but they might have gone for less http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/181052

An absolutely mint set sold in June 15 for $399 (£275) http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/167732

Some more in May 15 (not as good) for $295 (£200) http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/163716

More NOS ones sold in March 15 for $250 (£200) http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/159825

Jan 15. NOS ones (maybe the same tyres as one of the above sets) for $400 (£275) http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/146872

So they do come up from time to time. Based on the above, the ebay ones do seem to be priced on the high side but it's up to you  :-\

To be fair all his Prices are way out & have been criticised on a few pages sites around the web.
 His Curtis Freestyler F&F is £850 & doesn't even have the right forks ... These have been fetching £650 top whack recently...  Bars at £290 is also well over the top ...
