I paid $425 for the same wheels brand new, built for me.

Actually, I erred -- mine rear is not flip flop, and I have the silver rims, which are slightly less expensive. Still, $500 would be a reasonable price for these wheels, but I wouldn't pay more.

Bike Works built for me a set for $450 with 15 gauge double butted dt spokes and the CXP22 rims, more expensive items than on this set.
