Craigslist question and possible trade bait

[charlyg]

Is there a way to search craigslist nationally? I have neither bought or(pretty sure it's not supposed to be nor,as in the whole double negative thingy) sold on it.

I've decided to sell/trade my SVT and maybe the EBO to get the "right" Fender.

My dream config would be natural swamp ash body with PJ pups.

I will be taking photos, etc.. I also need to run by the church and grab the SVT, so I can put the back cover on and hook up the noisy fan!

Charly, I thought you loved the SVT! I may be in the market if you want to send some pictures my way.

I am also interested in how selling works on Craigslist. I have a few things that I could sell locally there, as an alternative to eBay.

I do love the SVT! But controlling tempo without a drummer wins out. I have to go pick it up before I can get some pix.

Charly, I know that you can do a google search where you specify the domain, such as:

rickenbacker site:craigslist.org

... but I don't know how it orders the results, and you'll see a lot of links that turn out to have expired or been removed.

If someone wrote a way to search every craigslist (or even better specify which ones), and it were ordered intelligibly (by posting time, or with other options), that would be pretty sweet.

There a couple sites that do nationwide (and worldwide) searches. However, craigslist routinely changes their internal search code to circumvent the external sites code, rendering the searches useless. They want to maintain the "act locally" mantra. Do a google search on craigslist searches. If you catch one while it is working they can be very good. I have found several 4003's that way.

Hey Todd! How ya doin???

You can probably get more money selling the SVT on ebay, though you would want to make sure to set a reserve price.
