Other Trade Binder Sites?
Economics forum

So i know tapped has a trade binder feature; (and I love you baby... honestly, the other site means nothing to me! ) but i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to a dedicated trade binder site searchable by location. (tapped is not purpose built for this.. Still love you though!)
Basically, a kijiji / craigslist of magic cards and binders.
Put in your location to see what trade binders have been posted in your area. Browse em, post your own..etc. tick a box if you're willing to mail cards or just want to deal locally - make that a searchable field.
Search by card, set notifications if a wishlist item comes up. Search results link you their trade binder/wish list.
Dose such a thing exist? If not.. Go forth people with website design skills... I bestow onto thee this million dollar idea! The new facebook... Deckbook! FaceBinder...
you can be in charge of the domain name i guess....
Thanks for the tip
I gave them a look. Do you know if their pay/premium features are vastly different? If not, it's short of ideal. Very dedicated to mail-trade.

Not unless you're selling I think. I don't have it either. I do know once you sign up and plug in your info, it shows other users who live near you though in the friends part.

Pucatrade you can find people by country. Helps keep shipping costs lower, but you don't get the exact address unless you a) initiate a trade or b)ask.

From the comments, it's looking like there are well established sites that cater more to the shipping crowd of sellers and traders.
I should have specified that i'm looking for something better suited to support the local buy/sell/trading community. ie. Specifically search my home town and browse through anyone's binder who's loaded it (which does seem possible on Deckbox.. but is a terrible set up, as it only displays our "matches": the cards I list that i'm looking for that match what you're selling. Why not show me everything they have to trade?! Can a man not impulse buy?). Or limiting my search to binders in my home town, and looking for a specific card inside them (does not seem possible on deckbox or puca).
The general idea is that there are maybe a dozen LGS in my area, and I'm not going to go to each FMN and look through everyone's binders. But mtg players have a direct interest in doing just that. Odds are, someone in my city has what i'm looking for (and cuts out shipping costs if it's something you do a lot) - it's simply impossibly time consuming to do it. A web site designed to accommodate that seems like a great idea to me.
