40k+ Dragon Eggs!? ROFL I'm out!

I'm fortunate enough to have accumulated a set of mithral tools and GM workers for my lvl 20 professions and have had a modest income from the gemmed shirts/pants etc.
Now dragon eggs have gone over 40k and continue to rise I'm hanging up my tools till the new lockboxes get here. The market should be flooded again then from all the special professions packs that'll be opened.
Each job uses one dragon egg + donor item and a few residuum. The gemmed gear is from rare jobs, so you have to keep checking/refreshing your professions to get the right job. The job takes 12 hours (with GM worker) and has a 60% chance to yield a 'great success' (using mithral tools) which results in a socketed item. It used to be that the numerous failures ie. purple shirt/pants without a socket, would at least sell at a sufficient price to cover the cost of the egg, not so anymore.
You'd think that the market would 'self adjust' to compensate for the increased resource cost, but prices continue to fall, it's been buoyed slightly by the sudden influx of astral from double rough diamonds but no doubt it'll be plummeting again next week.
I'm all for a competitive market place, but the sellers most aggressively undercutting each other (and often themselves when listing multiple items!?) to literally make a sale at any cost, ensure prices will continue to fall... Apparently if you're so obsessed with a bodily function that you need to mention it in your character name your maths is not so good.
I'm by no means discouraging anyone from levelling professions or saying there's no profit in it. Just do look at your market/costs and evaluate whether your anticipated return is realistic/worthwhile. And think twice before paying the current market price for dragon eggs, IMO it's unsustainable.

So if the "fails" go for 20k and the slotted ones go for 60-70k that means an avarage of 80-90k for two jobs(at 60% not quite right i know). That means that you at best get a 10k return after covering the cost of the eggs. Then draw the cost of the shirt you use as material and your in for a hit.
