IIRC the success bonus for HQ items is also very minor and doesn't come even close to making up for the often 10x higher price.
Selling +1 weapons isn't so easy as it sounds. you could totally rock those +1 claws for 250k.... or just keep farming ifrit. People get primal weapons (with a few rare exceptions) and don't care about +1 craftable stuff. That is probably why none have been listed.
