Slow, but working well.

Really needs a way to refine search results to "within X miles of $someGeoPointOrZipCode". I am seeing a lot of neat stuff in California ... but i'm not going to drive 7 hours to go pick it up :)

Agree, or at least a filter by town, which seems to already be included in listings.

Not by town, please. There are about 100 in the Bay Area. That's just useless.

Lat long of the town center would work. I don't need precise, but not seeing something 100 meters from me because it's in the next municipal unit is aggravating.

On the list. Blocker is geocoding coverage; not all sources publish lat/long and address quality varies. Backfill in progress.
