I had figured the price of 5k was about right - since it takes 5k Balth faction to get one and that's equivalent to unlocking 5 skills - which would normally cost 1k each.
I'd think that attempting to price based on the possible drop's values is a very tough equation. There are too many variables with unknown value. What's the drop percentage of an everlasting? Even if you make simplifying assumptions (gold item dropped will be worth on average 456g), there's still a lot of variability.
Realistically, the keys are just the latest and greatest invention by Anet for a title that will later be called "weak cause its bought".
