Please prevent shop abuse

Please add a warning when buying expensive stuff.

Example:
In Faustus shops people sometimes bulk-sell maps for say 35 chaos orbs, but 1 of them has a cost of 35 divines or 350 chaos or something alike. There should be a warning when buying something for over xx value or some other safety.

Apparently those items are called landmines..

Learn to read before buy

Haven't been landmined yet, but I think a solution is to add a price filter for buyers when they enter someone's shop. If you open it through the trade UI, the filter automatically puts the upper price at the value of the item you originally came for. Everything that goes above it are shaded, which would make it very obvious what's a landmine and what isn't.

I'm sure GGG will do something to attempt to prevent this, it would be in line with their design philosophy for the in-person trade screen.

However, just like with in-person trades, remember that in the end it is on the buyer to verify/be cautious.

Some tips to prevent getting landmined right now:

1. Create a regex/use the search bar. Creating a regex that filters out divines/exalts/etc, will make only things priced in chaos appear.

2. If you are going to be buy a bunch of stuff at once, move the bulk of your extra currency to a tab other than the currency tab. If your divines are in a normal tab, they will not be available for accidental spending.

3. Do a trade site search for items you commonly buy in bulk, set min. price to significantly over market value (example 1d+ for a T17). Go through results and just hit ignore player on all of them. This will prevent their bait (normal priced items) from showing up in your actual search.
