I noticed last night that Emperor's Hairpin actually went down to 350k! With all the anti-gilseller stuff going on, I think this is going to cause a few other things to drop in price as well!
Holy cow. I never knew they got that high. I remember at the US release, both them emp pin and leaping boots were only 100k, and even then, it was rare to see anybody wearing them.
They are both hovering around 450k over on fenrir.
The reason that they were so low at NA release was that because if you weren't on a JP infested server, not that many people had the gil to pay 500k for a luxury item.
theres currently a discussion on my server forum thats stating/argueing on whether these items are even worth it any more. Which i agree is not worth it to someone who cant really spare that gil. I even had to go get mine because a few people called my THF gimp for not having Leaping/Emp.
But w/e i strolled off topic and had to rant on a diff forum other then mine.
