And why can’t I find it anywhere? I know it wasn’t very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

A lot of systems have gone from “nobody wants this” to “precious treasure” in the last decade.
That said, if you want a reasonably-priced Saturn, I recommend looking at Yahoo Japn Auctions. Japanese Saturns are still extremely common so if you put together a large YAJ order using a proxy service like Zenmarket or Dejapan, you can still get one (and an assortment of games and accessories) for a good price.
One of the major problems is that the disc drives have been failing. If you want to go the ODE route (Fenrir/MODE/etc), it’s pretty easy to get your hands on a Saturn (from any region) that can’t read discs but otherwise powers on and lets you access the internal menu system.
