craigslist searching

[ivanavich]

Let me start with that i'm a big craigslist guy.
So I am thinking of traveling by car for a long distance vacation. Since nobody brews in Miami I thought maybe I could find people selling various things i'm always on the lookout for. Only problem is craigslist only searches your imediate area. Is there a way around this problem? I could search every city individualy for the many things I have been waiting to pop onto CL but that would take forever.

Craig's Helper - Search Craigslist Quickly and Easily might be of some help.

On the right side of the main page is a section that says "US Cities", if you click Miami you can search that area. You can check by State also.

use your google-foo I just type in "craigslist item name" and then look at the craigslist pages that pop up.

Do you use a newsreader or use RSS feeds?

I set up RSS feeds for my most searched items (brewing equip and chest freezers) and just check google reader for new postings. That way I dont have to sift through the piles of crap for the one or two items I'm looking for.

Is Dunedin close to you, if so you should send me a pm. I saw a craigslist ad for some stuff and contacted him and he sent me what he has with prices.

Dunadin, Tampa. Actualy almost all of my equipment I got at a steal from a guy in tampa. This would be the best opportunity to pass by and give him a homebrew. It was part of out deal that I give him a 6er but I have been reluctant with my poor brewing so far.
I plan on going to Beaumont TX so the route I take will be up to any craigslist finds. Otherwise shortest distance other than a stop in New Orleans.
