So, why prices at eBay and others secondhand markets are going down by the weekly basis?

You really don't understand demand, do you?

Do you??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

The four basic laws of supply and demand are:[1]:37

  1. If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
  2. If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.
  3. If demand remains unchanged and supply increases, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.
  4. If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price

Oh I do, don't worry. Tell me, have ebay prices reached retail prices yet?

They haven't dipped below $450 since the PS4 launched (when I said "breaking even" in my prior post, I meant when you factor in paypal fees and shipping, not that they sold for $400 on ebay). But I guess his M.O. is that "they used to sell for $600 on eBay and now they're "only" selling for $520+. Demand has gone down!" even though it's still 30% higher than MSRP meaning demand is still really high.
