Afaik you were only able to obtain the items for gil if you have actually received them previously from participating in the events. Meaning in case you discarded them you can re-buy them. But if you weren't there for the event you can't buy them at the Calamity Salvager. For example I never cared for the Horseheads back then and those are not available for me to buy.
