Not THAT rare....search for this in eBay, there is another one just like it listed for $45, and others without the launch set for as little as $18. Scammer...
 
They do this when they don't actually have one in stock but expect to get another one in the future.

It's easier to keep the listing (details and pictures) than delete it and relist it again.

Not a scam or money laundering.

You DID catch the price, didn't you?
 
Auto pricing formulas are known to go wonky on Amazon as well.
 
They don't have it in stock (but did have and sold one in the past). They put an unreasonably high price knowing that no one will buy it.

When they get another one to sell they will lower the price back down.

That way they don't have to completely relist it (a bit of work) and they don't have to pay the fee for a new listing.

I would concur but would add a 4 letter explicative.
