Mid to Higher end Suntour stuff have all gone up in price in a major way the last couple of years. For example, you will have a hard time finidng NOS Cyclone MkII RDs for less than a hundred dollars these days. IIRC, they used to sell for something like 45 bucks for NOS and even then I thought they were bordering on being overpriced.
I think the retro craze is responsible for the renewed intrest and higher priced on classic stash.
