New Craigslist Search Tool, I've written it and you can try it out Options

Hey all, I've been working on a way to search more than one Craigslist for a while, and have built a new tool, http://www.clrds.com/


The process is simple, select your category (cars & trucks), select your state (MI), select the cities from that state you want to check, enter what you are looking for, such as Celica, and a price range, and you get a full page of results from around your state.

I've got my account setup with saved searches of Celica's in Michigan, IN, OH, IL, and several cars that I'm watching.

Take it for a test run, I'm planning on charging at some point in the future, something like .99 a month for regular users, and 9.99 for power users.

I'm also planning to ad a feature to allow scheduled runs of your searches, with an email feature to update you of new results in your areas.

Check it out, and let me know what errors you find, or problems that come up. I've found that I need to tailor the searches a little more specifically such as hoses, should have an option to select bedrooms, bathrooms etc... but it was built so I could find cars.


More than anything I just need some users at the moment to see what bandwidth is going to be, and figure out a scale for charging.

Hey all,. I've upgraded http://www.clrds.com/ and now have enabled it to allow people to search up to 5 states worth of CL cities at once.

I've also given up on finding a model for charging users, charging for CL info is the fastest way to have Craigslist ban your service.

Enjoy!
