In recent weeks I have observed some bizarre buying activity in the market place which doesn't make sense at all. Typically it involves certain gibberish named characters kept buying certain pieces of one star HQ crafts so their availability remains scarce. The said items then would have their prices kept above certain threshold due to constant 'resetting' from the pricecuts.

What puzzles me is the motivation for whoever is doing it - these certain pieces of item do not require anything special to make while sharing similar demand to any other one star HQ crafts, unless these certain pieces have their unknown special uses such as exceptional grade 4 materia convert rates, I don't see any reason why anybody would want to keep buying them, unless there's some kind of conspiracy behind. The rate and quantity they bought these items are just too high for simple marketing misjudgments.

Some insight on this would be appreciated, it's just puzzling.
