I don't follow anything you are saying.
It appears that you cherry picked the last sentence of my post, which I said was another discussion for another day, and ignored the first 95%.
I'm not concluding that the price was 600-700 gil. It's the opposite.
SE intended for the piece to be worth about 2000. That is why they give you the option of taking the piece, or taking 2000 gil.
Of course it's not going to sell for exactly 2000 on the market board at all times... but, it should be a comparable amount that requires the player to think about if they want to take the cash or take the item. Sometimes you should be able to get it for 1500-1800.... other times you'll see it's going for 2000-2500.
I highly doubt they intended for the piece to always be worth 20-30% of the quest reward cash alternative. If they did, that is horrible game design.
It would be like your boss saying, "you did an awesome job this quarter... I'm giving you two options in terms of bonuses. You can either have $1,000 cash... or a Keurig coffee maker"
Who in the world would take a Keurig coffee maker that retails for $150-200, when they can take $1,000 cash?
It's not even close... everything goes (on the market board) for a fraction of the quest reward cash alternative. That seems like a problem.
And again, I'm a lvl 39 player so I can't comment on end-game market stuff. I just see a lot of cracks/flaws in the economy when it comes to early to mid level stuff.
