People are willing to pay far more than what the products are worth.

That statement is internally contradictory.

Not necessarily in case of price/demand inversion. That someone may believe other people will pay a certain price for something does not imply that the item is actually worth that much. In some cases, the value of something may fall even as the price is skyrocketing (most typically, when skyrocketing prices encourage the good to be produced in quantities exceeding the total amount people will want to actually use).
