They're currently out of stock but I've not heard about them not making any more. If they're selling (which they appear to be) and they have all the equipment,then why wouldn't they. I expect it's likely that they'd make them in small batches and it might be a while before they do another batch so they'd be a temporary shortage, but I suspect that would be all.

As to a price? What did they cost? £130 +shipping? + stickers! So they'll owe you best part of £200. You might get £250-300 if someone wanted them urgently (or more if they do decide never to make them again).

Skyway usually only make about 40 to 50 sets of graphites 2 or 3 times a year. That's all. The carbon fiber material is expensive, so when they decide to do a run of wheels, they order the material, make the wheels, and move them out so they are not sitting on too much inventory. It also keeps "supply and demand" up.
