Title: REQ: Craigslist flagging software/service
Post by: tomleepdx on April 07, 2012, 02:33 am
Looking for *CURRENT* craigslist flagging software.  This will only be used locally and quite infrequently if that makes a difference.

Can always use buy socks5 proxies and flag away. They're like $0.30 each
Bonus if all the proxies are from your same state/area. Also google 'CL greasemonkey flag no proxy' there are tutorials

A trick that used to work to prevent getting flagged is put this at the top of your listing:
<h2>This posting has been flagged for removal. <a href="CRAIGSLIST URL/about/help/flags_and_community_moderation">[?]</a></h2>
<h5>(The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)</h5>

People see it and don't flag. :) Dunno if still works.
Surprised anybody still uses CL. Backpages is better

Right on.  I've used new identity through Tor and it seems to work but I'm looking for a one click software solution for the lazy ;p

What do you gain from flagging Craigslist ads?

I frequently use craigslist as a buyer for the purpose of arbitrage.  It allows me to have an edge other the competition for several reasons all boiling down to me being the only prospective buyer in the sellers eyes.  I can contact the seller and not have to 'set up' a deal right--therefore I don't have to drop everything for a really good deal and I also don't come off as super excited and anxious to make a deal.  I can negotiate the price much easier.  And so on all because the seller thinks I'm the only one interested since no one else is contacting them to buy.
