Yes, he's just trying to capitalize on the fact that is the same model that was in the movie. Popular culture "usually" raises the prices on such items.
Examples are:
The Waltons Zenith tombstone radio
The Radio Shack/Realistic Walkie-Talkies in Stranger Things
The (modified) Packard Bell transistor radio in Gilligan's Island.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Will he get that price? Probably not, but people out there are weird so you never know....

I find it amazing that people will pay high prices for our electronic stuff. California seems to come to mind with high prices for electronics and they seem to disappear, so someone is buying them.
