From looking at the thread the owner seems to really dislike it and didn't mind putting it at a price to move it asap. He could have priced it for it not to move and just fold it and put it in storage, but what's the point? He lost a few thousands (maybe 2 or 3), but maybe for him that is the price of not having something he hates...
Always a risk buying something expensive sight unseen or without having playing it. Also a risk buying something and expecting it to raise in value to maybe make money. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. It is what it is.
