CL Question

Is there anyway of accessing ALL CLs at once?

Say I wanted to buy a particular item, and it was rare, is there any way I could access all the CLs across the country to see if it has been listed for sale?

There are others, but the search tempest mentioned is the best. Set it up with your zip, your search range, and then type in a few different phrases of what you are looking for.

Trying to think like a seller and what they would call something is the fun part.

Will it be a

Lawn mower

Tractor

Rig

New holland

Nh

Ford


All of them can be for the same item....

I use site:craigslist.org _____________________

Use "site:

Then if you're wanting to check craigslist, use "craigslist.org

Then use the word you want to search for "tractor

Or harvester, or whatever

Im looking for a 3 wheel Copar Panzer garden tractor. Found One that was Restored for $1,200. That's a chunk, but doable in time. I doubt if it sells for awhile.

searchtempest is used by miles from your zip code. I use 1000 miles and it covers about 15 states for me since it is nearly 400 miles to get out of TX going North. Im not traveling further than 1000 for anything I find on Craigslist.

If you have to go 1 state at a time, you're not doing something right

Well, there you go, no one is selling them and no one is buying them! I did a search within 500 miles of my farm, nothing.

I assume you are looking for something like this??
