Litronic Group Buy

Found this on PPBB... $1167 instead of 1300! If you want xenons, this ain't a bad deal. Here's the info:

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

I got my Litronics from a Brandywine group buy on PPBB. $1100
They came in the two biggest boxes I've ever seen.

So I'm curious about the logistics behind the general availability of Litronics for the 97-2004 cars. Is Porsche still getting a lot of orders for these such that they will continue to make them and continue to have a high price for them? Or is it a case of they have lots made already [maybe too many] and will at some point get rid of them cheap?

I'm asking because I'd certainly like a set, but not for $1200 USD. I'm hoping that they discover that they've got too many, find that the rate at which they are selling is too low and blow them out (kind of what I found happened after my one of my Hondas went through a major body style change and Honda found they had too many air conditioning units lying around; they got rid of them cheap).

[Anxiously and in cheapskate fashion hoping that I will be able to land a set for $500...]
