It's clearly a "highball" price. With (virtually) unique items like this, there's always the possibility someone with more money than they can spend just

Many so-called "luxury" items are already like this. Wealthy peeps are actually drawn to them because they cost so much—the price is part of the prestige.
In the collecting world (including that of keebs), "rarity" is often based on the principle that you have something most other enthusiasts can't afford. A Model M like this:
...isn't inherently better than any other Model M. But those who have them look at them and think, "I sure like this, because the other keeb peeps I show it to are jealous." The idea always makes me chuckle. But I digress.
