If you type a car (in my case Kia Rio) into the Detroit Craigslist search you will get 2 Kia ads and 98 ads from the same used tire shop, all dated today. The clown has a list of key words that includes every car known to man !! I've flagged the darned ads one at a time until my fingers hurt. If I feel like being a dick tomorrow I should phone the shop every two minutes for about three hours and ask for the guy selling the Kia. Rant over.

Free advert for ...

Leev's A1 Tire @ Six Mile and Gratiot. Call any time 313-473-8380 or 248-670-2225.

They could save on labour costs by laying off whoever spends all the time typing Craigslist ads.

So I am pretty sure you their voice mail access is the number 1 pressed three times. If someone want to change the recording or something or just hear the messages that was the 313 number

People like that are why I only search by title or only search with pictures if I feel the need to search the body. I figure if they're too lazy to put a picture in of the car or too lazy to put at least the model in the title they're not too motivated to sell.

I always flag posts with huge bodies of keywords too.

That's a pet peeve of mine. I'll have some fun with them.

I only look at 'by-owners only'. takes care most of that.

make a bogus CL ad with something super low priced & leave their number. 8 billion call should change their mind...
