Is there any other centralized place where fares from these origins are posted (in their local currencies)? Searching this long thread (and the larger forum) shows various prices at various times, and sometimes at varying exchange rates to USD. It's honestly hard to keep track of what's current [especially as exchange rates evolve], and squeezing this info from the online tool is a totally excruciating exercise.
You can easily get them using Expert Flyer and/or KVS, both paid services.

They aren't advertised because most countries (and the EU) require airfares to be shown including relevant taxes and fees. Because each route in RTW itineraries is unique, with different taxes and fees applicable, it's impossible to list them in normal advertising channels.
You can see the "base" fares on those two sources, but remember that taxes and fees can make a huge difference, sometimes enough to outweigh the "positioning" cost benefits. You should do your cost estimating using an "all in" method - base fare plus taxes/fees plus cost of positioning pre- and post-RTW. It might make a difference, or end up being such a small difference that the hassle factor of schlepping halfway around the world to save $500 merits a second thought.
