Paragon Market: Still can't figure out what I purchased?

Really really annoying that the changes aren't reflected in the market, but I've never been able to purchase something twice. You are able to add it to your basket but when it actually gets to taking points off I get a "Allowable quantity exceeded" error and the purchase doesn't go through. If this didn't happen for you then you should definately get in touch with CS.
Yeah that was what happened last time. I tried purchasing something I already had and it did give me a message saying that I already had it. This time though, no warning, 400 points deducted and nothing new. I filed a ticket with CS before I made this post and so far, all I've got is a reply that the ticket is being sent higher up the chain.
What gets me is that if this was addressed and the Market actually displayed in some way that we'd already purchased something previously, I would be more likely to spend more on it. I'm one of those people who will make sure they have every possible costume option available. What I'm not is someone who enjoys having a spreadsheet so they can keep track of what they've purchased so they don't re-buy stuff.

Most of the issues now, I think, all relate to pre-Freedom Purchases. Everything I've bought since (haven't checked on old stuff) lacks a buy option for me at the moment.

That's just it though. Did this game not exist prior to F2P? I have two accounts and with each one I've purchased all of the booster packs released except two (animal and steampunk) on the second acct. My primary account still has a 'buy' button next to the booster pack parts I bought YEARS ago.|

I think it's annoying and takes away from what is generally a good feature. But now, I'm not buying anything from the cash shop except costume slots, storage expansions, and power sets. All three of which have hard coded limits in place that prevent me from buying what I've already bought and no longer need.

The item market didn't exist prior to F2P. What they haven't been able to do yet is to tag items from those previous booster packs as items that have been purchased from the market.
So they have to first create a mechanism that can tell the item market all about each booster set and pack and then run it on every player account who ever bought any of those items before Issue 21 went live. It's not trivial and it's not something you get a second chance to do right without a massive restore from backup if it screws up.

I'm VIP, but I didn't even start playing the game until after Issue 21. There are a number of items I've purchased from the store that still show up up with the "Buy" button enabled.
Back before CoH became CoH: Freedom, I purchased all of the Super Boosters and Booster Packs that NCSoft was selling. In short, any costume options released prior to the change over are enabled on this account.
Why is it that this STILL is not reflected in the Paragon Market? Even better, why is it that you can actually purchase the stuff that you've already bought? Just as a test I tried purchasing the Magic costume package. Sure enough, NCSoft was more than happy to take my points for something I already owned.
How and why is this being allowed to go on? I've watched each update to see if/when this most basic of functionality would be added and still nothing.
