Thank you for your suggestion, but seriously, is it THAT much of a real burden to just scan through ads noting the location in the poster's profile once you have located specific animals you are interested in?

Point of the matter is that this site is an INTERNET based site, and tends to focus on INTERNET based transactions. Anyone solely interested in local sales only is encouraged to make note of any shows within easy driving distance of their home location and attend those as often as possible. Limiting your buying options to strictly local, while a nice idea on the surface, is actually LIMITING your options.

This has been addressed before somewhere in this Feedback Forum where the logistics of the programming effort needed for that sort of functionality was addressed and discussed.

Hi Travis,

There is sort of a way to do it, check out this link that talks about it:

I hope that helps

I'm new to the site and was looking for a specific item. Problem was it was Ivins me postings from 8 years or more! There needs to be either a time limit where the posts expire or an easier way for the seller to post "sold" on their ads.

Or maybe a way to filter results to within a certain time frame?

Hi Autumn, Here are a few threads that discuss this issue, you may want to review the reasons both pro and con and add your thoughts as you see fit:

Also to note - sellers can change the tag to Sold now but that was a newer feature and I don't believe it was available a few years ago.

Edit to add Jessie - that's a good idea!

Huh, well how bout that.

Yeah, and if everyone would actually put the city and state info in the tag area, well, imagine how helpful that could get to be......

One thing you really need to change is the BOI. It is impossible to navigate and actually find reviews. Most of it is just discussion. I think people should have to create a new thread each time they make a review for someone, otherwise it just gets lost in all the other junk. Thanks.

I always found putting terms I wanted to use into the search box field worked for me.

Review material tends to be found throughout a given BOI thread if it gains volume (a few exceptions aside). I think most of them start out that way, too, prior to the increased focus on details and nuance later on. Discussion allows for points and counterpoints relating to user-perceived validity or invalidity of complaints or praise based on the details in the context of the whole.

One benefit of combining experiences into fewer threads is that each experience may be a window for a particular point in time. Sometimes the weather seen through the window might be more favorable. Sometimes less. Having a series of experiences back to back allows for the formation of impression by pattern instead of merely impression by instance. If a person focuses solely on instances, having things broken out might cause a reader to skip over or miss reading about a particularly key or valuable instance.
