So, when the lens prices start to drop and people sell their systems there will be an increased number of nx1s and nx500s for sale and the prices of those will drop?? And the lenses will increase in price again?? My head is spinning.

The prices will drop because there won't be any competition to buy them. As the "high-end" users move out of the system there's likely to be very few new users who'll want to buy into an ageing and unsupported system except as a "novelty item", just 'cos it's cheap

I bought my NX5 in very similar circumstances. Camera with OIS 18-55mm, 2x batteries, charger and card, all in a case, for well below the auction estimate, simply because no-one else was interested.

I'd done my homework and knew I could buy lens adaptors for a whole range of manufacturers to fit on the NX5 for little more than pennies each as stockists clear their shelves.

So I got a platform for my pre-existing but retired Russian rangefinder lenses for under £50 with the bonus of being able to use any old manual-focus Canon/Nikon/Contax/Konica/Exakta/Olympus/Minolta etc. lenses I find, many of which are also available for "little more than pennies", simply because "everyone wants auto-focus zooms"
