Default NEW!!!! Marketplace search by distance and radius!

NEW!!!

You can now search for items in the marketplace and limit them by distance to your zip code! Michael has just completed the code and it is live!

You can either go to the advanced search page in the market and use the radius zip code search to limit the results of your query OR you can simply browse ads while in the "Standard View" (not in the simplified forum view) and see at a glance how far every item is relative to your location.

We hope this new feature further enhances your browsing enjoyment and helps you to more efficiently find the items you are interested in. This feature cannot be found on any other RC website! Have fun buying, selling and trading.

The whole location thing was one of the main reasons I even built RCU. RC Online had no location features. You could not search by location or even see the location in a list view. I wanted to buy something now that I could see and take home. Without location features this was impossible. Thus my drive to build RCU was born out of this as well as not wanting to wait 10 minutes for a single page to load.

Now RCU's marketplace has location functionality galore. You can see the sellers location when browsing ads. You can search by location to, for example, narrow down just items being sold in your state. This is done with the advanced search page. Also you can use the radius search to show distance in the list view along with the city/state PLUS on the advanced search limit your search by distance radius. I don't know about you guys but I LOVE IT! This was a huge reason why I did not want to limit our market to a "discussion forum" where there is great difficulty in having powerful features such as this which are designed for trading and not for "discussions" necessarily. Also the filters and categories make it much easier to browse (shotgun) or pinpoint (rifle shot) what you are looking for then one could ever achieve with discussion forums. Hopefully as people now begin to see these new tools and break the "old habits" of years gone by they can value the functionality and power of this system as well as the simplicity of its use.
