Yeah those are generally only really valuable right at the start of a raid tier when progression raiders are using overmelds to cheese stat requirements they don't yet have the raid gear to meet. After that their value goes down sharply because people are only using them to gear alt jobs.

Personally I prefer glamour items for crafting. The market is much less volatile and SOMEONE always wants them.
