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.

CoV, misclicked last night to be back on BN.

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.

Screw the math. I don’t like it.
