3M for BB items!?! O.OFollow

I've been back for a few months now from a year of not playing. Before I left I started gettin the 3 items for BB(Black Belt), im 1/3 with behemoth's tongue. I've been camping ada/aspid for a few weeks now and they have been asking 3M for egg. At first I thought it was just some greedy ppl wanting to make some gil but i've been told that that is the going price now for bb items. What happend to the days when they were 500k-1M. I've been told its because the baning but thats stupid cause any endgame ls can kill the HQ gods. Is anyone else fed up with this? Or if have this all wrong please set me straight. Thnx

This is one of the last items that a lot of MNK get, and to a lot of them, it is worth a lot, and they are willing to pay whatever it takes. As long as people are willing to pay it, it is worth that much. It sucks when you don't have that much to stump up for it, but the alternative is KS99, or HNMLS, like a lot of high end armors.
