The supply of stolen government property (or DRMOed property) has dried up, so prices are back up. This thread was created on the very tail-end of the dump onto the market.
You are incorrect.
I'm not going to advise anyone to buy or not to buy, but the seller OP referenced (at link #10 in this very thread) has told me that he has some more, and that HIS source for them acquired the sights at a DRMO auction.
Is that true? I have no way of knowing.
If your conscience is uneasy, perhaps make an inward pledge to yourself to never mount them on a safe queen or a range toy, and only to mount them on a rifle which you would use to defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That way Uncle Sugar isn't out a thing, and neither is the taxpayer--the sights are still serving the cause of national defense, they just found their way down the food chain onto the rifles of the unorganized militia.
Personally I would never buy a single set, much less four, because I would not want to be seen as a Larper, or a gear-fixated homosexual, or an airsoft poser. In fact, like many on this site who were dead set against open carry at Lobby Day, I plan to vote for Bernie, and I don't even like guns. But hey--you do you. This is America, and America is about freedom.
