 I think this is lesson 1 in enconomics 101. Supply and demand.
Gregory your reasoning is valid. As supply of type is short and demand 
constant or higher the price will rise. A steady supply won't happen 
until we begin to harvest the planets and their debris. I understand 
there are several folks working on this problem as we write. As 
collectors that can only mean higher prices, for we will have to pay the 
cost of this harvesting.
