No. Not when the mats a pretty attainable and easily crafted. ARM/GSM/LTW Spec.
It's not GC related, it's city related. If the retainer selling the item is located in the same city as the marketboard you are using, buying the item will not add a tax to the cost for the buyer. The buyer never sees that money. Unless I'm mistaken about how it works in 3.0, certain cities (or just Ishgard?) get discounts from time to time for the tax on the seller. which is taken directly from the sale price. Sometimes the discounts are complete, sometimes they're half, but in all cases, the tax the seller pays happens regardless of where the buyer buys the item.
