Not really Phil. Several crossram setups were recently only bid up to around $15K which did not meet their reserves and this was before the repo crossram was out. There were a few people willing to pay the $21,000 for a setup(which still seems crazy) but once that group all had crossrams the prices were bound to drop. This recent auction had mismatched carbs and the lower manifold had no casting # so it definitely hurt the value of the deal. But I don't think you'll be seeing too many people paying $20K for a complete setup unless it's truly NOS and mint condition. I think the GM setups will still be going for $12-15K and the repos with the incorrect repo carbs will probably be lucky to get $5K. But that's just my opinion. I wonder if the news of the repo's coming out made some people want a real GM setup before the repos appeared so there would be no confusion and that might have caused the spike in the market. Remember, it's not the price of the part that matters to some people, it's the fact that it's a genuine GM part which will dictate the price.
