Crashcup Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm new to the forums here, so I may be missing something, but I'm thinking it would be really nice to filter the MarketPlace posts down to the ones nearby. Is there already a way to do this? If not, would it be unreasonable to ask posters to include their state abbreviation, and city (if they live in or near a major metro area) in the title?

..Kev Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 All good points. In reality, if a seller wants to sell something and doesn't list those needed facts, then they have more work to do. One would think it's common knowledge to list those items especially if the sale is local pick up only. I think it's more about educating the group.

I know, you aren't selling anything and have better/more important things to do than change your profile address! I too agree with OP.

gee-dub Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I agree that if you’re selling something you want to include your location so that people know if it’s reasonable to even look at it. The price on the title would be nice too. When I sell things on the forum it’s usually something like: Original mortise pal Jig, Southern California, $100, shipped to lower 48. However I am in Network Geek and have been told more than once that I’m a little “over specific“. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Willingness to ship makes some of that irrelevant. My planer came in a crate from the east coast through this marketplace. Local pick up may have been cheaper, I don’t recall. Just a thought. Maybe a pinned post with some suggested thread title shorthand is in order?
