Because most folks don't know there are 600 of them. When the next issue of TCR is released, I'm sure this chip will take a tumble in price ... but until then ... who knows how much folks who do not visit thechipboard.com will pay for "high-end" chips?
If a new LE issue of 600 chips were released tomorrow in Vegas... how much do you think they would sell for? (Of course, that's if they were not all purchased by one or two individuals who will control the price). A famous chipper once told me, "Whoever has got the goods, sets the price."
