Market Price Range on item not selling for months is now forcing me a minimum list price twice as high for no reason

I and many others on my server have been trying to sell our aberrant Ash Sweepers on the market for over half a year now with a forced price minimum of 4,000 plat.

Since today is reset, I go to the market and relist it, in a futile attempt to use this market as an actual feature to benefit my experience with this game. However, while attempting to relist it, it claimed the minimum of 4k was out of range.

I removed it and tried to relist it, only to find out the minimum is now 8,000 plat. WHY?! Not only is every other listing on the market currently 4,000

[What is so special about my Ash Sweeper, that has been listed on the Market all year for 4,000 and has not sold, now needs to cost at least 8,000 ? Every other listed Ash Sweeper is all 4,000 plat (and have been for over 6 months)

We understand why the price ranges are in place, but what logical reason could there be to force me to relist this item for twice as much now? I’m sure it inst going to sell at 4,000 but I can guarantee it wont sell at 8,000, especially when every other listing of the same item are all still listed at 4,000 (and again,not selling)

I felt stupid relisting it every week at its previous min price.
Why even bother trying now?
