A rare Nintendo GameCube prototype from the 2000 Space World trade show has surfaced online with a $100,000 asking price. This non-functional prototype, listed on eBay by collector Donny Fillerup, was one of a few units created to showcase the console’s design before its official launch in 2001.

...$100,000 asking price

All these retro auctions mean nothing to me. It feels like the same dozen buyers making sure their collection stays highly evaluated.

So it's not even a prototype, if it's legit then at best it's a design mockup.
