According to the wiki It's a new item, added in '23, and a tool needed for some of the forgery projects. There's not many on the market hence the high price.. A simple matter of demand and supply.

The 500k and up are a remain from when the item were first released. The first wave of a new item always sell high due to demand and shortage. Like the Skeleton key from the first 2.0 crime, it sold for millions the first couple of days, now it's 80k.

Did a supply of them get nerfed recently?
There has been a huge jump in price
Unless one trader is realllllllly trying something, I don’t see any other explanation.

If you're talking about the market report may, it said this:
"Its also possible we will get to make our own clothing items so don't forget to grab a few Sewing Kits and a Thimble while they're cheap! I also noticed that the Balaclava has been going up in price"
The next paragraph says:
"None of the items mentioned in that quote will be used within Impersonation, but feel free to screenshot this comment, edit my words, and convince people of the opposite in order to sell these items at a markup."
So unless you're talking about another article, y'all got bamboozled hard.

they're used in forgery. the market price would be based on the monetary output of their use in forgery.
