I don't know, just found it accidentally. Demand for those sets in Germany were very high in the 80's, but have dropped down dramatically since then. German kids don't work on 30 year old cars anymore, and if they do, they put two 50mm Weber's on 'em. That's probably the explanation for the still pretty low price. I remember that I paid around 1000 German Marks for a used EFI set about 20 years ago. Including inflation and the different buying power of the Mark and the Dollar, I would compare that to way more than 1000 $ in the new millennium.
BTW - to correct my first post, the iten is not posted at ebay.de, but on ebay.com. Somebody over there has a heart for "US"!
