As it stands, there is only one Category for which searching and (blindly) selling to the Broker yields a positive expectation value, taking into account the probability of finding an item and the odds of that item being Rare or a Forgery. Removing this £2 cost means half of the available Categories yield a small profit on average, which seems about right.
Hang on, forgot a term; the numbers actually work out so that only two Categories yield a positive EV after this change. Still, this does a lot to help the Categories with low Typical Prices.
Seems safe to lose it, there’s still the “A Seller may not make a Flea Market post if they already have one to which the Broker has not responded.” clause to prevent spamming.
