Craigslist was designed for simple listings not for complex searching and tracking.įortunately various developers have jumped in to create a Craigslist experience that the base system doesn’t provide. If you’re trying to keep an eye on multiple areas of interest on Craigslist, especially if you’re trying to look at multiple local Craigslists, you’ll get frustrated pretty quickly. You’ll spend a lot of time reading links and a lot of time clicking through them to get additional information. The basic Craigslist interface isn’t the greatest for finding things quickly, however.

It’s free to list things so people have very little reason to avoid listing anything and everything they want to offload for cash. Even the small metropolitan Craiglists have so much stuff: electronics, tools, bikes, car listings, furniture, musical instruments, and more. Finding the LootĪ brief history and some safety tips aside, it’s time to find some loot.

You can read more tips directly from Craigslist in their avoiding scams and personal safety sections. Always be prepared to walk away from a deal if a guy said the used bike was $200 and when you show up he insists it was actually $300, hit the road. If a situation seems like it’ll end up with you getting robbed, it probably will and you should reconsider.

Unless the person is selling an item that can’t easily be brought to a public place (like a hot tub currently attached to their deck), avoid going to their home. Don’t meet potential sellers on Skid Row at 2 AM. People selling $100 iPads are either selling stolen iPads or they want to club you with a tire iron and take your $100 (or both). If it’s too good to be true, it probably is (and it’s probably stolen). Staying safe and not getting ripped off is pretty easy, however, if you follow some common sense guidelines.

The community self-polices by flagging problem entries (scams, illegal listings), but for the most part it’s a buyer-beware market. Unlike more traditional newspaper listings Craigslist is, essentially, totally unregulated.
