I wrote the script back in 2010 or a little before. I found a telescope I wanted in Phoeniz, AZ using the script. Got there and the guy admitted it didn't work after the ad said it worked perfectly. After driving over 500 miles, I wanted it so badly I bought it anyway. Still have yet to fix it. There is a guy nearby that has designed a kit to fix them. It is a Meade 10" LX200. Its a 90's vintage but the optics on it are excellent. Its just the controller on it that is bad. I have to make that my next priority to get that kit.
Old adage goes though, buyer beware.

This really make searching Craigslist simple and almost fun to boot. I found a just right radial arm saw that is about 60 miles from my daughters, this is a little far to go for it right now but come summer I will repeat the process and will probably find another swarm of them.

I just posted a file that is a pretty nifty utility for searching for
items on Craigslist. Just download it and open it. Your browser will run
it. Its safe.
In order to use it you need to allow pop up windows. Most browsers by
default block them. What the webpage does is open a new window or tab
for each localities search. California has a lot of them. It searches
the whole state you do a search on.
Take note of the filters on the right side of the page. You can narrow
your search quite a bit there.
Not sure how well it will run in Internet Explorer. it runs fine in
Firefox and Google Chrome. I think Opera works too. Internet Explorer
tends to have a different structure in the way it operates from the rest
of the browsers. I didn't have the patience to sort that out. I rarely
use Internet Explorer except to use for local exchange between computers
and FTP. I wrote it in Javascript and HTML.
Dale tried it and liked it and thought I ought to post it to the group.
So here you go.
