I didn't play on PvP servers, but my guess is that farming platinum was much more difficult there, keeping downward pressure on prices.
Honestly though, as I've said before, the prices for *decent* items like fbss/sbs seem to be roughly pegged to how long it takes to camp them, and how much straight plat you could farm in that time.
If you can farm plat at a rate of 1.5k/hour, and it takes 6 hours to camp an FBSS, why would you want to sell it for less than 9k?

Supply and demand > how long it takes to camp. If its not time efficient to camp it then people wouldn't camp it, they would farm plat or camp something else, only people who would camp it would be those wanting to use it and not able to farm plat.
Its either in huge demand from twinks, or people don't mind a 12k price due to too much plat (plat competition) or its not being farmed much (not likely) or a combination of one or more of those.
Whatever the issue is, its pretty bad for attracting newer players to the server and keeping them, especially warriors.
