Found an asset listed via search that doesn't have a buy button(?)

Just noticed that all the assets by this creator, whilst appearing available to buy via the on-site search, aren't available to purchase. The developer's seemingly inactive, and this issue took place at least 6 months ago (https://heego.itch.io/pixel-icons-cookies). Did the author mess something up, or was this a site bug?

It seems to be the author's decision.

When you sell a game, you have an option that allows you to disable new sales, leaving the content available only to those who have already purchased it.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate. Was hoping to grab a copy since I found a buy button on her dev log pages too, but that didn’t work either ):
