Default Classifieds Idea!

I find looking through the classifieds to find something in my region murder, some people not even putting the area in the titles. Maybe, instead of having categories of Lizards, Snakes ect. Have by area like:

Scotland
Midlands
London
Avon
Cornwall
Kent
Surrey
'op north, ect.

And have any advert in that section? or further sub-sections!. But that would take a long time I expect.

Thanks for reading

Yeah. But as sub-sections inside the area if you get my drift?. Nothing's ever for sale in Bristol haha!.

Like:

Kent - Snakes
Lizards
Amphibians
Invertabrates
ect.

Where do you get your reps from out of interest?

that idea only works for people who aren't willing to travel for the right pet. If somebody wants a certain morph for a breeding project then they'll be willing to travel. With the sub sections they'll have to trawl through all of them to find (or not find) what they're looking for.

Is there no way to put a system in like on preloved. When you make your advert, there's a little section to put your postcode in, then when you are searching for something you put in your own postcode then +10/25/50/100/250 miles etc? Don't know how hard something like this is to put in but it would be very handy and would allow people to look for stuff near them, and then for those that Meko pointed out, who are willing to travel for the right reptile.

but if they're willing to travel for the right animal they'd have to check every section x amount of times per day.
