Buying/selling maps is HORRIBLE!!

Good day everyone!

I have passed the last 30 minutes trying to buy a single map, AFK, people who doesnt answer you, reaching to their H/o to figure out that this dude has already sold your map,..... Guys! This is 2020, please stop making lose our timne.... trading horrible maps that has not value....

Advice: Just put all the maps available to any moment, just teleport from map to map without losing time!!

PD: I have several friends whose stop playing POE cause "stupid" end-game trading map mechanic

Skip the first listings, try someone who is selling for a little bit more than the lowest price, or, do what I do and buy 2 or 3 at a time from one person.
Most sellers have multiples.

If you have to buy maps, you're doing something wrong.

Try buying in bulk

Not sure how active https://poemap.live/ is at this point in the league but might be worth trying that if you just want to obtain the odd map to fill out your Atlas.

If it's a regular map use Orb of Horizons, problem solved.
If not, then buy for a higher price as said above.
Or ask in trade chat. :cringe:

The trade forum could be awesome of people actually used it. I used to try and buy "packs" of maps by tier (ie all the tier 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc maps) to faster knock out the atlas but people don't check their posts so you never can get your item. :(

Why do you have to buy maps in the first place? I never had to buy a map in this game. I usually sell maps for 20-50ex the first couple weeks of every league and I always scratch my head why people are buying maps.

That said, selling maps is super easy.

I have a shitload of maps priced reasonably , if you msg me to buy one map and im not in my HO im not going to bother with it because by the time i get out of my map/simu/delve you will have already msg 30 other people and bought it.

If someone however msg me to buy 5 or more of them then i will stop and make the trade as its more worth my time .

Also if you refuse to pay a decent price you can expect a lot of trouble getting maps , i usually limit my trade so it wont even show the low tier sellers because they mostly wont respond say i want a tier 11 red map , i will set it to only show me people at 5 c per map . I usually get a response very fast seems simple to me.

What if the OP is looking to buy Cortex or some other special map that isn't regular?

I don't usually buy regular maps either but there are special circumstances.
