The last time I sold 2-star HQ crafting gear was about 3 weeks ago. I ended up helping a friend craft a set of Rose Gold Earrings yesterday. Since I needed CP food buff, which last 35 mins with the new FC food duration buff, I ended up taking that time and crafting a lot of other stuff as well instead.
That's exactly what I do!

I stopped going out of my way to craft 2-star gear expressly to sell, but every now and again I end up making gear to sell just because I like crafting and have extra time on my food buff. It also gives me something to do with the stacks of NQ components I made to spiritbond gear before the 2.1 materia changes.
