Players are interesting things.
A seller's objective is obviously to get as much as possible for a given item, which is fairly straightforward. Why price Item X at 75k when they've been going for 85k etc etc.
Buyers should be more wary. Anyone who's saved up 30k or more in an effort thats taken them days/weeks/months won't want to just throw it at the first person who advertises an overpriced item...will they?
From that, probability suggests that we've either:
A: got a serious RMT problem.
B: got too many people playing the "EC game", buy low/sell high.... buy high/sell higher.
...maybe a combo of the two. The more inflation comes into the picture, the easier it is to make big money reselling a high priced item. What's an extra 5k to someone that'll spend 70k on an item? Not much most likely, however they sourced it.
