On top of that the crafter needs to spend gil on mats for leve/provisioning hand ins, which return 0 profit, to actually level up. At least as battle class you can avoid the marketboard and just buy from vendor or get drops from dungeons. They need every gil they can get their hands on.
That is no excuse. They are being greedy, plain and simple. When you can buy the NQ version for 45k, why would you sell the gear for 300k+ to not actually sell it.
