can we still sort by zip code in items for sale?

"I think what Lloyd is referring to is being able to search for items based on part of a zip code."

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is what Lloyd meant.
I searched for and bought/sold this way in the past, especially useful for TTs and speakers, thinks like that that are either expensive or risky to ship. I don't see a way to do it anymore.

Ok, my misunderstanding. I thought he was referring to where, after opening an ad in the old system, we could just click on the zip code and the city would display. The zip code search function was great also, especially when looking for something like large speakers where shipping could be dicey.

I asked the AG staff about this feature, searching by partial ZIP code, and was told that they intended to restore it.

Some sites now have the ability to search within a certain number of miles of a zip code. I think that is what they are planning on adding. It would be much better than using just the first numbers of the zip code.

right, I want to be able to search locally for things that are difficult to ship, or too fragile. Sometimes I'd consider buying something if I see it, but not otherwise. So I hope they restore it. Along with the ability to contact members directly; never had any luck trying to go through the Agon system.
