Supply and demand fluctuate over time and are more voulnerable to reach extremes on a very small market. With not that many people playing NI (lower general supply) it is possible that a relatively small number of players can drain certain goods from the market, if they all compete for a limited (in a given moment) number of it.
Next thing is that you only need lumps to craft high-end stuff and i see nothing wrong if that takes a month or two.
OTOH look what is going on with zinc shard prices, dropping close to 100 k level. Does it mean zinc shard drop rates should be lowered?
the problem isn't so much with the fact that people are trying to craft equipment that require it, but, rather as NKA has outlined above all the crafting recipes seem to require this material yet the supply for it is so low. that is why he is suggesting a lead drop rate buff.
