Very low pricing that doesn't exist

I have a neighbor and others offering a lowball prices like $9.00, $10.00 night rate per night but has a 2 night minimum. You click anywhere on the calender and it's $9.00, $10.00. But when you go and click the 2 day dates to book the $9.00, $10.00  and goes up to $144.00-$154.00 x 2 night. The $9.00, $10.00 price disappears. I've called Airbnb and talked to on the phone and went through 5 customer service reps and they can't tell me a **bleep** thing. They don't know how the host's are doing this on thier website. They don't have a clue. This is really a bait and switch used buy here pay here tactic. Can anyone help please.

Yes, the whole point of filtering by price is lost when people set them falsely low, and it's a time-waster for potential guests. There's no way to excuse it without double-speak. Maybe it became acceptable due to "alternative facts" and shady deregulation lately.

 

The only solution I see at the moment is to always choose a date-range first.
