Why are balanced furies cheaper than C.Ilbis?

C Ilbis are ALOT rarer than furies (and arguably look better). Even with the fact that furies are better for utility, c ilbis are still more expensive...which just shows how rare they are.

That doesn't explain why anyone would be willing to buy crystal ilbies for more, though.

People can buy anything. To look better? To stand out? To collect...?
