Hence, if you live in Australia, what a deal... if it's true.

a1usedcomputers supposedly has a lot of cool stuff (for cheap), but most (if not all) have actually been OOS since I checked them last (in 2011). AFAIK they have not changed their stock numbers since then.

QFT - I was also among those barking up A1's tree in the past, due to the fact they claimed stock of a 1387033.

As it happens they did actually have it, IIRC, and it sold quickly once word of that was confirmed...but they had just the one.

I was going to look into ordering one myself but got the same message originally.

The last one sold in the US was in the low-$200 range, but mid-high-$100s is more likely.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

I think the price has gone up due to increasing popularity via word of mouth here and other forums.
