On this note, you should also add an option for "Any" for at least the brand and type you are looking for sections. Since you don't have a ton of inventory at this point, it's likely that whatever search I do outside of San Fran is going to fail (and even some there.) Every search I've done failed so far... Let me pick Paris or Cleveland or whatever and show me anything and everything available there.
I think you have 2 markets here:
1. People who are interested in getting a nice camera and want to test out a specific camera or 2 to decide which to get. "Any" doesn't help much here, but if they have a handful they'd be interested in it might be somewhat useful in the early stages where you don't have much inventory.
2. People who aren't interested in buying a nice camera, but would like to use one for a day. These people specifically, likely don't know which one to search for, and they don't care which one they get. All of them are better than their point-and-shoot or phone. Adding an "Any" really helps these people. Click my city and show me what is available.
- BWStearns 13y agoRiffing on the deciding which to get part, you might also be able to allow stores to have accounts on there as long as they rent through your service.
- derwiki 13y agoGood idea, I like this in addition to tagging mentioned in another comment. I've added a ticket for "any" filters. Thanks! Edit: I just remembered that you can also manually edit the search results query string to remove parameters you don't want. For example, /gear?brand=canon shows all Canon gear, in any location.
