In this condition, I'd be surprised if they went for much more. A brand new set is ~ £1000 so it's not far off the mark.

Re: Big price for twin carbs
You can never assume the bids are genuine on Ebay, it's absolutely rife with shill bidding so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions.

Re: Big price for twin carbs
Amazingly £450 is not that bad a price for a manky set of H4's nowadays. As has been pointed out above, a new set from Burlen is getting on for a grand. I reckon its safe to assume that the do not have 30° float chambers though.
