The problem with doing this as a desktop application is it only runs when you are logged into your PC. What would work better is a service that is always running and doing your searches for you, and of course sending email notifications that you will see as soon as you check your email. From wherever.

very cool product. I used the demo and am debating on which of the Craigslist search product meets my needs best. Thanks for the very useful post.

The best site that searches craigslist is http://www.notifinder.com. Its free fast and reliable. It eve tells me how often a new listing is posted before I set up my search. Amazing!

I use a free web reader for craigslist – http://craiglook.com
It’s very clean and useful, and besides it’s free.

You can try Craigslist Ultimate Reader here. I have used CraigsList Reader, Craigspal and Craigslist Ultimate Reader and find Craigslist Ultimate Reader the most mature and professional tool among those three. It even has a map preview of the results. I’m quite disappointed with Craigspal – many bugs.. can’t rely on it. CraigsList Reader is bug free but needs much RAM and is a bit slow. Also there is adware in it.

@Larry — This is a very delayed response to your comment about CraigsList Reader no longer being a free version. Your are correct and the former free version is now a seven-day trial version that expires after the seventh day. the post has been noted and there is more information in the current post, “Search Craigslist Classified Ads – 7 Tools for Faster Searching“

Nice article, but the software is no longer free. New version needs to be registared (for $25) or it goes dead after 2 days
