Don't forget: somebody had to buy the keys to get the ship you're buying on the exchange so in the end Cryptic gets it's money.

True but on average you can get the ship off the exchange for a small fraction of the price that opening random boxes costs.

If people stopped opening boxes ships on the exchange would be a lot more expensive.
