A Craigslist Search Engine - Craig's Helper
Originally published on Tech Cores in 2008. Kept for posterity, so some details are likely out of date.
Are you looking at sites like Craigslist? I’ve been very active on this site for many reasons like the following…
Because it’s local
You can actually meet the person in real life (never do shipping with Craigslist)
I find it a bit safer than eBay because it’s local (you still have to look out for the scams though)
But because there’s so much on it, wouldn’t you like a simple search engine optimized for Craigslist? Well, now you can! With the help of Craig’s Helper you can search in your local area, find the stuff you want!
Why I personally like Craigslist is not because it’s local, it’s because typically things are very cheap there… It gives me a secure feeling that I can meet the person I’m buying/selling said item to. This is something that anyone would like to do. But maybe if you’re “anti-social”, you should just stick to eBay instead…
But I find that Craig’s Helper is a great search engine to find things, and I’ll definitely keep this site on my bookmarks!
