If you've noticed some on-line retailers suddenly putting a "sale" on their stock of retired Old Pink Prisms, that may be because rumor has it that the Old Pink Prism will be re-released in Limited numbers. If you are keen of eye, you will notice that the picture circulating shows the "LAA" mark on the core, and the genuine OPP was not stamped. You are seeing the picture of the new re-release, which suggests quite clearly that the dealers do know that their retired OPP are about to be devalued.
The last few Old Pink Prisms on ebay have only fetched about $130-180US, so also the claim that they sell for close to $450 on ebay is not accurate. The prices have been quite consistent on ebay for the past 2 years, there has been no recent drop. I personally have owned 4 of the retired Pink Prisms, so it is one of my old friends. ;) You can also Google "Trollbeads Retired Pink Prism Ebay" and you should be able to find some old auctions (if you dig around enough) and see the closing values for yourself.

My recommendation is to wait so you don't pay too much, or buy feeling well-informed & prepared. I am not sure of the geography, but the release is said to be Australia only. Dealer contact info is only a "Google" away, and I'm sure overseas dealers will be quite happy to hear from you. You can also then be assured of a new & undamaged bead. The re-release is rumored to be priced somewhere around 150 Euro - $215US, but no one really knows.
