Without clicking on the link, I thought it was because ownership stayed with the academy awards, so it's not the actors Oscar to sell.

No, but (according to the article, to save you the trouble) winners enter into a legal contract with the academy, and one of the things they agree to is to give the academy first refusal, at an agreed price of $10, before they put it on the open market.
