Stop searching thru the personal ads.

before it got popular, there was significantly less spam.

I am shocked they haven't been more proactive in dealing with it though.

I posted an ad on my town's craiglist and there was tons of spam and I just got an email about my ad but I don't know if it's real or not.

Spam? I never had a problem. Then again, I was usually selling or buying nice boring goods, not sexual services;)

I sold a truck in less than 12 hours from submitting ad to title transfer. I thought craigslist was awesome.

Spam?! Must be where you're at or something. Just a couple days ago, I went through every craigslist for about 200 miles around me and didn't see a single spam.

It has improved in recent weeks from what I've seen. Used to be overloaded with spam, but I've seen a reduction recently. I'm about to sell a digital camera that the cheapskates here at AT won't buy from me. ;)

I used craigslists to sell my furniture before I moved 3000 miles. I think every listing I had sold within the day. It is awesome, no listing fees and local buyers.

I have never used ebay.

Post an ad for renting a room and you get a bunch of blokes from the UK trying to scam you.

Because mixed amongst the spam you can find good deals, or in my case, you can sell stuff that others consider good deals :thumbsup:
