Faustus has a racket going on maps. How do i get in on it? (problem real, RP is for fun)

So I linked a video showing this but for those who can't watch. I have like 200 t16 maps priced at 10c. I search for t16 maps, corrupted, 8 mods, mirage, instant buy out (which mine are) and what do I get? The first map for 7c then the next one for 12c and the a whole lot after that going higher. My maps have been sitting in my trader stash for AT LEAST 12h.

I set the "price range" down below to min/max 10c and all sorts of other people, not just me have maps priced at 10c.

Clearly Faustus has some kind of racket going on where only the privileged few get their maps listed in a more general search.

How much gold do I have to bribe him with to get priority?

Your search says that it returned 10000+ results. Something that should have been fixed already (it shows this way for me) is that it should say "Showing 100 results (10000+ matched)" instead of "Showing 10000 results".

Short answer: your search is too broad, so you're just seeing a small subset of the results. Not necessarily the cheapest, because you're only sorting the 100 results sent to you, not the tens or hundreds of thousands of matching items for sale.

For comparison:

Filters: Map item, Tier 16, 8 modifiers, instant buyout, Mirage league, and max buyout price: 5c
Results: around 1500
