Prices on ebay and stuff went down cause so many people try to sell their consoles cause they thought they would make profit.
If to many doing this prices drop.
On release date and the week after it it was a complete different picture
On the german and austrian ebay(i think they share most stuff) there were a bunch of PS4s that went for over 1500€.
Most of other auctions like this one settled for around 1000€...just for the hardware without games and so on.
There are people who have the need to pay these insane amounts of money cause they can't wait but there aren't surely enough of those people out there to cover all the auctions.
Those who wanted to pay that much did it already - Everyone else has to sell them for the prices you said...450 and stuff.
