When a new tradeable thing is launched, people don't price it according to how hard it is to get it, they price it according to the hype and the rush. A massive amount of people, even those who don't quite like the thing, get a sort of rush feeling of "IT'S NEW I MUST HAVE IT" when something launches. There are many reasons for this but it's there.

Either way, if people buy them, it's not overpriced, otherwise they wouldn't buy it. They could easily have said no and waited until the prices went down like it always does, but appearently they felt that having it before everyone else or just having it right now was worth the higher pricetag.

And regarding your prime access argument, the difference between prime access and trade buying is that you can get 1000 plat without spending a single real-life penny, you can just farm it. As for prime access there's no way around spending real money with it.
