We all know by now the feeling that something needs to be thrown at GoA for this prolonged bug in CMs. Fear not! Help is at hand. Its is a bug of display only - all items are there, you just can't see alot of them.
Requirements : 2 toons (a bb is convenient), one without cash, one with.
Instructions :
a. Go to a ME.
b. Do your search with the cashless toon.
c. Click the item as usual.
d. If you can't see it when the Player screen opens, scroll to the first page with blanks.
e. Right click a blank space and click Buy.
f. You will get a message 'You do not have the xp yg needed to purchase item z.
g. Do this until the one comes up you want.
h. Note its position.
i. Now R Click that space with rich toon and you will buy the item. If you haven't got a bb you will need to re-log, but even that's better than waiting until the house owner logs on as GoA suggests.
(An empty slot gives you an error message with the slot number. Ignore)
Credit for this cant go to me, simply a copy paste job from FH. Sorry if its been posted before etc.

It seems there is a display bug so that items aren't appearing on CMs.
However, you can right-click then buy if you know what spot it is in.
The trick is to use a cashless toon to attempt to buy from every spot. You get told "you cannot buy X", so you know X is in that spot. When you get to the item you need, you relog and right click buy with your main toon.

but if they arent appearing - how do you know they got the items at all?? (I mean before using this bug thingy) And the question is - who was bored enough to figure this one out?

They are visible using search on ME, but not visible when you try to buy them either using buy option on ME or actually going to the house. Yes it works, though not something you want to have to go through to buy every minor scroll. Worth it for a desparately needed item though.
