How do you know that there are "hundreds" on the server, and what does this mean? Is it 100? 900? Also, if there is such an abundance, why is the going price in the 50K range?

Regarding the price issue, people that camped them to use them aren't selling them so count those out of the market until the price is high enough to justify selling and camping them again. The people that camped them to sell them are highly incentivized to keep prices up. People will keep auctioning the same item at or above the perceived market value for weeks to cash in on the maximum amount leading other people to want the same price range. Otherwise, if you start a race to the bottom, one gets sold below the normal price and the "losing" seller can go right back to their original price.
There is also the perceived future rareness of the item since it will stop dropping in 6+ months keeps the price higher than it would otherwise be.

As for your use of the term "casual" like it's a swear word, it just shows what your mind set is - I'll just leave it at that. But for the record, I've spent two whole nights in the cave and many portions of other nights outside the save. I have not been "casually" camping for the item by any sane definition.

Terms like casual and poopsockers are thrown around like candy here. Some people imply negative connotations with it, most use it in fun and embrace whatever their preferred label is and run with it.
Your original post said 40 hours over 10 days. To some people that play here that is casual coming out to an average of 3 hours on weeknights and 8 hours on weekend days. To people that can only log in 5 hours a week, that is hardcore.
As to their drop rates, there have been a number of beta/bug reports related to them:
