Auction Watch map tool

[john]

Here is a tool from eBay I hope some might find useful.

The Auction Watch map tool allows you to locate items which are local to you on eBay. To use it
*Enter postcode / zipcode
*Check Country is correct
*Enter search term (e.g. retro!)
*Click the magnifying glass to search

Currently set it up for the UK & US, can do so for other countries, just ask.

UK > http://www.retrobike.co.uk/auction/map.php

USA > http://www.retrobike.co.uk/auction/mapUS.php

Currently trialling it so feedback gratefully appreciated

I like that! Very useful. just need to not click on the thumbpin, only seems to show detail when you hover over. But I can see that being useful.

That's actually quite clever...

thats brilliant, sadly nothing interesting listed near me

Is it set to a specific distance from the postcode? no matter what I type in it finds nothing so wondering if there is a way we can choose distance from PC as well

<<UPDATE>>Just tried my postcode with nothing typed in the search box, got one pic of a boot and another pic I can't make out, nothing else. Nothing comes up if I hover and I get an error if I click.

Bum

Clever is that John, thanks. Doesn't seem to update if you zoom out though so is limited to quite a small area.

How great is that - thanks John. Can you use it for non bike stuff ?

 

[grogee]

wow that is clever, well done...

Nice Mavic rear mech near me.

Could this not be an aid to steal items as well?
