Items with a current offer buyout ("c/o") are not indexed by the official trade site

So I used the tool to generate this forum post:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3570530

But when I search poe trade the trades there are not listed. Am I doing something wrong? I tried googling but I just get a shitload of garbage to weed through.

Thanks for letting me know.

I think I saw this working a few weeks ago while I was working on another bug, but the shop function is one of the parts of acquisition I'm least familiar with. I will look into it and get back to you.

I found the problem, apparently current offer (c/o) lists the item as if no price was provided. Using buyout everything works fine now.

Thanks for digging in. That's clearly a bug--I will see if I can figure out what's going on.

I think I've found the source of this problem. In-game, there are only three pricing options as of 3.25:

1. Exact price (also called fixed price), which is indicated by a note like "~price 10 chaos"
2. Negotiable price, which is indicated by a note like "~b/o 10 chaos"
3. Do Not Index

There is evidence in the forums that "c/o" had been used in the past, but the latest item I can find listed with this tag is almost ten years old. I'm tempted to remove the "Current Offer" option from acquisition now, especially since the trade site doesn't index items priced this way, which will probably confuse people.

What do you think?

I'm relatively new to this so I wouldn't put too much weight on my opinion. However logically speaking if those 3 are the only ones available to the trading site then it's probably best to only support those 3 in the application. Perhaps have a setting somewhere to expose the older options in case someone actually needs them for something.

I'm going to have acquistion log a warning message for now, with the plan to remove the "c/o" buyout option entirely in a future release--assuming someone doesn't get back to me about why this feature is useful for them.
