I had to laugh at those who said Craigslist isn't high-tech enough. That's kind of the point. It's a message board - not a website. It doesn't need music, flash, graphics or java. It's just for text and photos. For those of you who are having problems with responses from scammers, here are a few tips. 1) Open a junk email address (Yahoo, Hotmail) just for Craistlist stuff. 2) Specify in your ad that the person responding MUST put a certain word in the subject line (if you don't see that word when you check your email, just dump all the other ones). 3) If you MUST put your phone number in the ad, break it up so it doesn't read like a phone number. Instead of 908-999-9999 use something like 999-9999 area code is 908. 4) Don't bother writing something like 'no scammers, please.' It's not as if writing that will stop a scammer! Craigslist is free, but they ARE making an effort to cut down on the junk - at least the stuff that's been littering the site. However, remember, putting your info ANYWHERE on the web will get you a lot of SPAM (which is why you should never post your email address anywhere). Bots or crawlers troll the web looking for live email accounts (in a scammer's mind, potential customers).

Craigslist is great I've used it to buy and sell items from toys to cars to major appliances.

yOU CAN FIND ANYTHING ON CRAIGSLIST!!!!!

I check it every day, and have sold mannnyy things with good results...better than ebay at times because there are no fees!!!

I have used Craiglist to buy items that I can't find anywhere else.

Bummed out by Craigslist. I checked the no contact except for inquiries box but I keep getting spam mail:(

I love craiglist, I am really starting to get sick of the emails from scamers though. For instance, you post something. You get an email saying, "available". And you respond saying, "duh, yeah". and you get a follow up with some kinda..you can go here and buy cheap...or blah blah blah....I will give you a check now and all you have to do is..... Scams are becoming to common.

A good place to see the going price for items, but it's also a good place for criminals. You must be cautions. The police station here in Vegas, is now allowing craiglist buyers to use their police station parking lot to conduct business. I think that is great. The thing I hate the most about it is that you have to contact a person and wait for them to get back then you have to hope to be the 1st person or you spend time and they have already sold the item. If you are the one with the item even after it's gone you have to answer questions. And you have to put your info out there (even if you hide behind craigslist) I try to steer clear of it.

Craigslist is good if you need to get rid of stuff for free, but alot of spam

I use to visit Craigslist more often until I got tired of trying to find the items closer to my location. I think it would be more useful if a person could search for products within a certain distance of a zip code. Now I just visit the local facebook pages.

Craigslist is a mess! I can't go to a website that looks like it was made by an elementary school student and even think about using it. I know people rant and rave about it, but only because it is FREE, which is probably why it looks like crap. Craigslist should clean up their act and join the new eara in website design and navigation.
