Actually, your problem is with the row-count estimates. Some of them
are pretty wildly off, which inevitably leads to bad plan choices.
In particular the price row estimate is off by a factor of 200 in all
three plans:

and priceavailable is off by a factor of 100:

Are you sure you've vacuum analyzed these two tables recently? If so,
what may be needed is to increase ANALYZE's statistics target for
the columns used in the conditions. (See ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS)
I suspect that part of the story here has to do with cross-column
correlations, which the present planner will never figure out since it
has no cross-column statistics. But it's hard to believe that that's
the problem for cases as simple as
> Filter: (((direction = 'D'::text) OR (direction = 'B'::text)) AND
> (deletiondate IS NULL))
