Most likely if your account gets hacked, they will NOT sell your augmented gear. I've had two friends in the past two weeks get hacked....All of their rare/ex and augmented gear was intact, but they were stripped of all high-priced items, gil, and then moved to another server. I'm not sure what the server switch was about, but there are two reasons they most likely would never NPC the augmented gear:
1) It's chump change, they won't steal your crystals, so they most likely won't NPC your Hagun for 2k
2) They need to work quickly - They'd rather mail out your hauby +1, peacock charm, etc., rather than having the account become locked because they stopped at Aveline to NPC your Amemet+1 with lightning resist +2 and you found out about it.
Edit: Also, even if they were to NPC your gear for whatever reason, it's not like you weren't doing an account restore to get EVERYTHING back anyway.

Believe it's because the high priced items/gear sells better on that server. Pay a little in to get a better payout. It may also be a lil pun to screw with your head.
