I was reading a blog on the SC domains - it seems that it the going rate for them. Seems they might have just been made "public" a couple of months ago?

The one who is in charge of SC registration is http://www.nic.sc/ and on their site says
For Local (Seychelles based) Companies only
You can also try contacting: http://www.seychelles.net/ as well

Unless a registry requires mountains of paperwork before they will register a domain (like .nl and .ie did once upon a time) you can usually get round "locals only" restrictions by getting a local person to help you oug.

I am a little confused.

On the website of www.nic.sc it reads:

Pircing: For Local (Seychelles based) Companies only
If I understand this correctly, then this pricing only refers to companies based on the Seychelles and has nothing to do with the restriction??

Any ideas?

I'm not aware of any restriction apart from the different pricing applicable to foreigners (those not based in Seychelles).
