"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon


Unless I missed it somehow (very possible) - how come AudioGon doesn't allow for searches based on price ranges like they do at real-estate sites? I'd think it would be a simple change to incorporate a search option based on the "asking price" of the ads. And while they're at it, they should consider one based on the "retail value" to appease the egomaniacs among us (self included).

Any views on this?

Great idea! Add an asking price range box (including "any") to click on in conjunction with the search. It may be tough to do the retail price since it is not always listed and may complicate the search (need to search on two price ranges with an "and" / "or" function).

Auctions would be excluded, but all the dealer demos and classifieds would make the cut. It would eliminate the open ended prices from the search (you've seen the dealers who are selling a product line at discount but are forced to use a single price in the description). Overall, it would be great!
The forum search engine is woefully underused - same questions come up repeatedly ad nauseum. I guess people are just too lazy to even try it? I use it nearly every day, but then again the engine window could be more prominently displayed - I wonder if people even know that it's there available?
Regarding the "did you search the previous threads for an answer to your question?" yes we should require that too.
I think having a price search is a good idea. As far as previous threads are concerned, lets not be to harsh as some subjects need to be updated from time to time.
after time after time after time?
just how many threads do we need:
"how do I install a dedicated line?"
I thought of this post when I saw a post on what's available on a $5000 budget. This should help narrow things down I think.

Spellchecker, why not. I for one could use someone with good english and typing skills.
