Search on Craiglists all over the USA ?

[Pschitt]

Hello guys !

Could somebody tell me if it's possible to search for vans on craiglists not only by state/region but all over the USA ?

Thank you for helping a Swiss guy not really aware of how to search on local classifieds... :a3:

+1 for SearchTempest.com

You can also output specific searches from there as RSS feeds and dump them into your newsreader. I have a SMB one set up that way, which is how I found my van in North Carolina (I'm in PA).

An additional note when using Google to search a specific site (e.g. blahblahblah site:craigslist.org). If you just run that search, you'll get results from now, results from years ago, results from months ago, etc. Not always what you want if searching to buy something for sale now. But if you go to "search tools" (after you run the initial search), then select "any time," a drop down sub-menu will allow you to select "past 24 hours," "past week," "past month," etc. Or you can then put in your own custom range.

Oodle Marketplace is one I've heard of that will alert you when your desired item pops up somewhere.

Thanks Scotty, I already know this site... :b5:

Try this, you can also specify which sites or regions to search or all (eBay, CL, etc.) used to be called allofcraigs

Was gonna suggest this too----if it hadn't already been offered! I've found a few things within my set driving distance so its been a great tool.

I've had decent luck with zoomthelist.com as well.

In the past I've used RSS feeds out of Searchtempest/Craigslist and fed into Feedly for easy viewing. Over the past year or so Feedly has had constant outages for their CL feeds.

Short of doing a Searchtempest search manually every day, has anyone found a good, automated alternative? I've also set up a Google News alert for certain keywords on CL, and get some hits from that, but it seems to miss a lot.

x2 - zoomthelist.com - has the option to search the day-of, yesterday, or 7 days previous. I don't know if it misses anything - !
