    Arrow Multi-City CraigsList search

    I wasn't sure where to put this so I thought I'd just stick it in this forum.

    Where I live (just north of Houston, Texas) there are at least 6 cities that are within a few hours driving time. So when I'm out scout'n the bushes for deals on Pachinko machines, I found myself moving through the different CraigList websites and putting in the same search critiera each time. I thought, there's gotta be a better way!

    There was a sight called 'SearchTheEntireCraigsList.com' but as of late their search client has been failing. Even then, it searched every CraigsList and returned THOUSANDS of hits. And I only want to see the one's closest to me.

    I thought... I can make a better one!

    So I did. Now I need you guys to try it out and tell me what you think. This is a free page with no banner ads or that kind of nonsense and it will load extremely fast. It's my first version so it ain't that pretty.. but it works! Here's the link:

    Craigs List City Search

    Give it try and let me know what you think!

    Later,

    Take a look at craigshelper.com You can specify the distance you want to look from your zip code. In addition to craigslist, you can also search on e-bay.

    MudFud,

    Can you send me the link to that CraigsList? I'll add it!

    Thanks,

    WOW.. Ikaria.. I wish I knew about that site before I went and did all this work!

    Of course it has the banner ads, but it came up pretty quick regardless.

    Oh well, at least I wasn't thinking I was going to 'sell this service'!

    craigslist: SF bay area classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events

    it's called SF bay area to include SF, east bay (oakland, berkeley, lafayette, etc), north bay, santa cruz and peninsula (like san jose)

    lots of cities but they're all within a short driving distance (if it's not commute hour)

    thanks rusty!

    Ok, mudfud, it's now there. You might have to 'refresh' the page when you go back to it to get the new drop down selection.
