So theres a reason they go on the AH so rarely:
The people who synth these items these days use Escutcheons for their various perks, one of which is "cannot synthesize normal quality items". This is a perk because a NQ is always a full loss of materials, a break is usually a partial loss. Its actually a net gain for the crafter. The only realistic chance of vexed items being created is either gobbie keys or a crafter not paying attention and synthing after the enhancement wears.
As far as "I'll pay 100k each or get the mats", heres what you need for a vexed bonnet based on asura prices:
First you'll need a Hexed Bonnet, NQ or -1. Cost of mats are:
Velvet Cloth 25k
Malboro Fiber 40k
Muculent Ingot ~180k
Penelope's Cloth 200k
Thats already 445k
Then to upgrade the hexed bonnet to a vexed bonnet you need:
Eschite Ore 350k. This is all you need if the hexed bonnet was -1, otherwise you also need
Waktza Crest 500k
Hepatizon Ingot 70k
So you're looking at either 795k or 1.365m just for the NQ vexed bonnet.
I know its a tall order to say "if you can farm 1.4 mil, just get 7x as much and go for the jinxed bonnet", but you'll probably get 10 mil before you see a vexed bonnet on the AH.
