People are still paying the hull + subsystem prices as they are right now. While that continues to be the case the prices will stay broadly the same, but eventually it should correct itself.
No offence intended but this seems about as valid as complaining about "overpriced" PLEX prices. If people are prepared to pay the amount then that's what the market is willing to bear.
People aren't suddenly going to sell it to you under market value unless you're a good friend of theirs or you chance upon someone looking to raise ISK fast by liquidising their T3 assets.

Quite a lot of the current buyers are still the people that buy just to have one. That will not pvp on it. Therefore will not loose them.on the 500M range next year.
They may not have any choice in it really.
I know of a corp who has killed 5 T3 ships in the past couple of weeks, and I doubt they're the only ones. T3 ships fighting in wormholes are still worthy of people dropping what they're doing to get in on the killmail, even at the current (lower) prices.

For me 300 to 450 is a FAIR price. Anythink above is scam!
Whilst your math is probably sound it's kinda academic.
In the real World thing seldom sell for only slightly more than the cost of their constituent parts + "a small profit". Look at the iPhone, do you think it costs Apple anything like what they sell it for to make? Of course not. I'd be surprised if it costs them more than $100 per unit.
Market forces dictate prices. If people weren't prepared to pay the current T3 prices, or PLEX prices, or whatever then the prices would creep downwards towards the "mineral value + small profit" margin. Until that happens, or there's significantly more competition, that's not going to happen overnight.
