Any way of searching only unlocked items?

Just wondered, I can search for items only from UK, but also I would like to be able only to see the items still currently for sale - is there a way of doing this?

problem is lotsa people forget to lock their threads when sold too

Searching unlocked threads is used to buy stuff
Searching locked threads is for determing "POTN market value"

I feel your pain. I was looking for a 200 2.8 and was frustrated to see an open thread to only read "sold" So I ventured to Craiglist and found what I was looking for. Maybe a buy or sell thread can be automatically locked after a certain set time frame. It's up to the original poster to courteous enough to lock the threads.
