It will find it's own balance.
If the ISK price for PLEX goes to high, demand will drop. If demand drops the ISK price for PLEX will lower.
It is a self-correcting situation.

Clearly you don't understand the addiction. Addicts will pay any price. I'm thinking we have a lot of addicts in this game. 
Heh, well then it isn't a problem anyway is it. Time to sell your room mates virtual stereo to get your fix.

The (potnential) problem is that if the demand curve starts to slope down after a certain point as the value is so good buyers isk needs are met buying fewer plex, the settling price of supply and demand could be 10 or 15% less than the maximum that could be sold (hence less ccp revenue). In addition to less revenue, there would be a few other less than optimum game balancing and marketing negatives.
Of course, some of that is subjective and I do use the word "if" but that is my opinion with the limited information I can use to make a guess from.
If the ISK price of PLEX goes too low, fewer are purchased for ISK resale. When fewer are available for ISK purchase, the demand (and ISK price) begins to rise.
As I said, it is self balancing.
Sure, there will be peaks and dips in the ISK price of a PLEX, but that's what keeps things interesting and competitive.
Now granted, people could spend a lot of ISK to buy up PLEX to hoard and artificially drive the prices up. But if they go too far with this (as some large entities and a few individuals have the resources to do) and start to damage the game economy (as well as place hardship on individual players) CCP has reserved the right to intervene. Likely this means that they if they find evidence of this they will inject more PLEX into the system. This would raise availability, drive prices down, and the people hoarding them would take a huge loss (and learn a valuable lesson in economic warfare).
In reality, just the fact that CCP has left this option open should be more than enough deterrent to ensure that the situation never arises.

Droves leaving eve because earning plex became to much of a pain in the ass
WTF are you talking about that happened when they released PI
Who the fuk wanted to do all that on top of invention and manf to make enough for a few plexes
I saw the major player drop after PI release even the recent changes to PI really havenĘt made that system anything less than cutting out your eyes with a spoon
Pretty sure EVE hit rock bottom a while ago why they are so focus on carebearism 90% of the hardcore players gave CCP the finger and rolled about a year ago
cause 0.0 folks care about avatars and incursions...
Confirming EVE is dying... still...
