Tech Tip: A New and Easy Method to Search all of Craig's List

In a July 22 AW post I wrote about a method for searching all of Craig's List (click HERE to read the post). The method used Google's advanced search features along with filters. Not a real easy process, and not as practical as I would have liked.

Well there is some good news. Now there is a new site with a search bar for item input which will search all of the individual Craig's lists for you. The sites name is, Search All of Craig's List. The web address is http://www.searchallcraigs.com, or click HERE to visit. The site is not perfect, and returns items in list form without images. You then click on the item to bring up the actual Craig's listing with image and price information. It would be nice if prices and images were on the search page, but this is a nice start. You can also filter results by region.

As I mentioned in my earlier post,Craig'list is a great resource for finding comparable items of depreciable household property. Sometimes when searching, you dont always find what you need locally or the number of comps necessary for the scope of work. By using the Search All of Craig's List, our research just became a little easier.
