I've actually been taking advantage of the price gougers - someone was trying to sell HQ, triple overmelded Heliodor rings for 150K. What? That's a 1000% markup over two days ago, even with triple overmelds. So I dropped it back down to 25K each for HQ/no melds and I keep dribbling them back on the MB. People buy mine because it looks like a veritable bargain compared to the wasteful overmelded ones.

That said someone caught wind of all the profit I was making off HQ steel sabatons and steel gauntlets, found the vendor, and put the NQs on sale on the MB with a 5000 gil markup. Because the market was flooded with cheap NQs, it drove down the price of the HQs (had been selling for 30K each) and it's not worth bothering any more.
