It's not that they necessarily fail to understand. Some people don't care about preserving the market. They have something that they don't need, and they'd like to get rid of it in exchange for some gil. They're willing to take however much they can get for it. In any case, it's best not to become dependent on a few items to support yourself. Diversify! If the market on one or two things tanks, look for other markets that are profitable as well.
