Anguish gems defying supply and demand?

The prices of the various anguish gems has always varied a bit, but right now they don't even seem to follow supply and demand. Margos right now are still up at 5k, when we now have Ursanway and City is the easiest of the areas to farm with Ursan. Torments are still 3k, when for months now we've had a perfectly working E/A build to farm them fast and effectively. It just doesn't make sense to me, at this rate Margonite gems are going to cost more than titans in only a month or two.

They price hasnt changed at all since i bought the gems for my tormented shield which is like 5 months ago. The only difference in DoA these days is that, instead of idiots running Obsy tank SF spam they run UB. Nothing has changed.

Odd.

For a while, mainly for farming LB points, I ran an Echo Dust build in Stygian Vale HM. Piss easy, and the drops were reasonable, but I ended up with 60 Stygian Gems in my backpack that I was saving for a rainy day. For ages they were only worth 1k, but suddenly (presumably due to the EW nerf) they've shot up to 3.5k. I find myself with 250k in the bank again - good days

Torment Gems are still slowly climbing in price, on the occasion I may even see someone selling them for 5k. What gives? There's a farming build and it works, almost too well, why are they going UP in price? >_>

The price for sets hasn't changed at all, the prices of each gem has. I used to be able to buy Titans 10k/each, Marg 4k/each, Torm 2k/each, Stygian 1k/each and have tons of sellers (enough that by buying individual gems and selling sets I went from 15k in storage to an armbrace in 5 days). I think it is still supply and demand, certain gems are easier to find sellers for and thus the price goes down.
