Could be simple supply and demand driven by lower populations on consoles or not enough people doing writs for the pages.

There aren't exactly thousands of them available. Avg page goes for 30-35 on ps4, times 7, putting it at 210-245. Then another 30-50 for the annoyance of having to get all the parts and the tax putting you at 270-300 for the whole deal.
I checked around for about 30 minutes before finding one at all.

I imagine there will always be a market for Psijic Ambrosia pots. Relatively cheap to make (mats cost small amount of in-game gold) and they significantly speed up the process of grinding Champion Points / VR levels.

Not sure what your point is here.
The price at which complete recipes are going for is essentially what they're worth - from a market perspective anyway. Going to three main cities (Mournhold, Belkarth and Wayrest) should tell you all you needed to know - it did for me when I was curious.
What a full recipe is worth in actual terms (benefit to the player) can be significantly less than this depending on the market prices of your console and server. For example, on PS4/EU a recipe is worth next to nothing in actual terms:
- If you were using it for earning gold then there's just no margin:
Ambrosia sells for 3.5-4k whereas Roe sells for 12-14k. If you wanted to source the Roe yourself you'd have to either farm for 2 hours (1hr bait and 1hr Roe) or buy the bait at 3k and farm the Roe for 1hr.
- if you were using it for XP then you'd be better off farming gold in a more lucrative way and buying Ambrosia outright.

Prices of roe are 9-10k on ps4 na, so you can make your money back. There are other ways to theoretically make more gold per hour, but ambrosia is a guaranteed seller. And they sell fast.
1 roe an hour at 3.5-4k per ambrosia nets you 6-7k profit per hour. Purple mats price should be negligible at this point on console for anyone serious about crafting. I've got 400 of each.

Okay, let's assume a best case scenario with everything that you've given me:
Purchase costs:
- Ambrosia recipe = 210k
- 1x Roe = 9k
- Everything else = negligible
Income:
- Sales of Ambrosia = 16k (4x 4k per Ambrosia)
- (Less commission & listing price of ~10%) = 1.6k
Therefore, profit per batch = 5.4k
So you'd need to sell 38.8 batches (156 individual Ambrosias) just to break even on your initial outlay of the Ambrosia recipe.
That's a lot of time and as I say, hardly viable for someone wanting to start selling it for a source of income.

Which could be done very rapidly if roe is readily available and you have the capital to buy it. Longer if you farm yourself, but add 9k per batch.
With 3 traders up all the time that takes less than 24 hours to break even on.https://youtu.be/_JdkloDrrZY

I am lvl 50 provisioning on one of my characters and have been doing daily writs for months and to date have only ever had 1 fragment\page for the recipe. I went and bought the complete recipe for 220K as i couldnt ever see me getting the 7 needed. Xbox One EU
