The thing might even be legit, but the guy is certainly over his head if he thinks Sega stole the VMU idea from a small blurb in EGM about an unlicensed prototype for a random accessory - it's just the result of a partnership (that was almost a merger) between Sega and Bandai, who had made great success with their Tamagotchi (the VMU being strikingly similar to it). And considering this magazine blurb ir from Sept. 97 and the VMU was already out by July 98, I doubt it was not already a planned thing at that point.
Anyway, that price may be *just* a bit too high for an unlicensed accessory. People really buy things like this? If it was an official Nintendo prototype I can imagine it going for high prices, but an unlicensed one... It's like giving thousands for a prototype of an old Mad Catz controller.

It looks like a joke, but you never know nowadays.
