It seems like a lot of money to me. Not that I follow TRS-80 prices.
If it does have 128K, that memory upgrade requires a special PAL or
something, so perhaps they think this is something special.

Still, it makes me want to sell my system ;) it doesnt have 128K,
but I do have an unused memory upgrade kit, including the special
chip, that i ordered from Radio Shack back when I heard they still
had stuff like that in a warehouse. Years ago.
