Well since the game has started not long ago, it could be because people don't know how much their items are worth, so they naturally put a bit of a "higher price" than they thought in case they rip themselves off. Of course, I can't guarantee that's what everyone who's selling overpriced things were thinking.
BUT if the prices continue to go up after the economy has settled, though, then I would rant too.
