I don't know, I think there is nothing to be done with the current situation. It will resolve itself naturally as they resolve their production issues. It feels like the PS3 launch, where they were 1200 on ebay until xmas, and quickly dropped back to normal levels. Sony didn't want that situation, they didn't misjudge demand, and didn't change the price. It was an unexpected supply issue.
The problem with these products is that production lines are planned for a continuous number of units per week, but the first weeks they need 10 times more. The correct production size is still for the weekly volume to fill the year's demand, and they better accumulate a good chunk of units before launching. If they make a huge operation to fill up preorders, then it's a big waste of money because it will be 10 times too big for the normal volume they need after launch. The same goes for their parts suppliers, they don't just give them a millions chips whenever they ask, procurement is often a continuous supply contract, or it can have months of lead time.
It took minutes to exhaust the launch day preorders. Then it took months to get the estimate preorder from july to august, that is 4 weeks of production or less, the initial peak was a one shot, it's all of the early adopters, not representing what the continuous production volume should be.
Granted, 2nd hand, so basically the same.
