Hey all, so recently I was introduced to this trick by a "Craigslister" who was interested in buying some auto parts from me (Firebird stuff 8) ). Anyway, he taught me an interesting little trick that lets you check listings for whatever your searching for, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! Instead of searching each and every states individual Craigslist link, this one simple search engine trick pulls up all related listings. Here's how to do it:

In Google search, type in SITE:CRAIGSLIST
Now, all you have to do is hit space and type in the keyword or item your looking for and hit enter.
BOOM! Listings appear from all over!!!
(FYI, there will be a good amount of listings that may have expired, DON'T GET DISCOURAGED! There is always a diamond in the rough and I have found some active links in the WAY back of my search results that were still for sale.)

Hope this helps, Happy Buying/Trading :mrgreen:

It's a google trick, not a craigslist one... and it's probably the one I use the most. Also put your search items in quotes for exact matches, and add minuses to omit certain words.
