No, it's because the seller put a reserve price on it, meaning that he doesn't have to sell if it doesn't meet his valuation.
He obviously thought that, being only one of two, it was worth a lot more than it would've sold for. I would've whacked it on eBay, truth be told. Bit more exposure there.
With all honestly though I WAS expecting the console to go for around the original price. Afterall, it IS a prototype model with only 2 made. Even IF it's just a Saturn with Internet connectivity.
Something like this for around $150 seems... pathetic lol.
