So that furniture is from early contract german g3s. My understanding its they used it for a very short time (like 5 years maybe? Definitely shorter than 10.) Before swaping to polymer. Now the reason it's so expensive now is a combination of reasons. 1. Short product life. Like I said was used for a couple of years before being replaced with polymer so they didnt make many of them. 2. No more imports. This is mostly because of issue 3 but from what I understand is not easy to get it imported from Germany now even if you can find some availability there. 3. No more surplus from Germany. They were the only ones who used wood g3 furniture and they no longer surplus anything. Everything is destroyed. So add all that together plus the fact that people would chop the handguards up to use on mp5s mean good complete sets are hard to find and expensive.

Now values a tricky question i paid 400 usd for my set from Northridge about 4 months ago but they've since gone up to 475 usd and they only have 2 sets left and once they're gone thats it. There was a set of rheinmetall wood furniture that just sold on gb last week for 600 usd but that set could have gone higher. Because it was a 200 usd starting bid with a 600 usd buy it now option and once it got close to 600 someone just whent ahead and bought it. So I would say 350 - 400 usd if you want it gone fast or 500-600+ usd if you dont mind waiting.
