The reason they're in demand is because any fresh 50 can go to the marketborad, buy these items, meld them with materia, and be ready for coil which is why you probably will never see them dip below 20k in price: there will always be a need to gear alts who don't have access to your main's mythology/Allagan loot.

The reason astral items (rings, chokers, bracelets) have sky rocketed in price, as of late, is the need for HP in turn 5. Mainly, BLMs and SMNs. As people continue to fill in their DL gear with AF2, VIT will rise naturally and there will be no need to buy astral items simply to socket them with VIT to survive a fireball.

But, if you want to sell your HQ astral items (frequency: one sold every 5 days), I guess that's your prerogative.
