guy's, you're not thinking.
this is what is going to happen;
. people will buy the cards at the hiked price thinking that they'll make their money back quickly.
.mining pools will become overstated and will pay less and less
.They will realise that they are not making enough and that their profits keep falling
. they will try to sell their card
.They will not be able to sell the card at the inflated price they got it at and will lower the selling price further and further.
.You, if you're smart, will just wait a few months and get a barely used card for even cheaper than before the price hike.
