We posted a sub-wide sale with dates running from Thursday-Sunday.
When I searched YSTM, the sale only shows up when the search day chosen is the first day (Thursday) of our date range.
The problem is that if someone wants to go shopping on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and chooses one of those days, they will not see our sale listed.
I have looked into this in the past. 90% of the free ads do not have addresses so I haven’t pursued the idea further. Plus I know that when I post free stuff on craigslist, someone grabs it within minutes, so there is always a lot of “stale” data in the free listings.
Sale locations very inacurate. Sales claiming to be on Long Island NY are actually from Kentucky and other places across the country just because the local street and the out of state town match. also happens within Long Island where sale is showing in a Nassau address is actually in Suffolk
Hi! Thank you, love, love, love the site. I am heading to chico, ca for garage sales this weekend but YSTM doesn’t seem to be linked to the Chico craigslist for some reason. Can you fix this?? Thanks! -mark
Mark, thanks for the feedback. I actually had no idea what state Chico was in, and apparently I guessed wrong. Chico sales should start showing up in 3 or 4 hours. Thanks for letting me know!
FYI Elk grove, ca [near Sacramento is show the information for July currently 8/6/10 5:30 pm great site !! normally hate looking at C list love yours alot

Marvis, thanks! I do somehow have some date problems. When I have some free time I will sort them out and probably move the site out of Beta. Happy sale-ing!
I think this is an awesome tool, but I would love to have one more editing feature! There needs to be a way to filter out posts before a certain date. Craigslist can leave postings on their site for 30 days finding sales from two weeks ago and having to delete each individual one can be very time consuming.
Just a suggestion.
I have just (hopefully) fixed the date problem. I only intended to show sales for the current week, but I had a few issues that were letting incorrect dates slip through.
Is there anyway to add more distance choices. The difference between 20 – 50 is enormous. At 20 I get only 5-6. At 50 I get over 100, way too many to delete. Somewhere in the middle would be great.
BTW this is a terrific site. Wish I had known about it before.
Thanks for bringing the range thing back to my attention. The next time I update the site I will add an option to let you type in whatever distance you want to search.

Did we do something wrong in our set up?
is there anyway to use the “free” category on CL without adding the sales one at a time? that would be awesome!

Good call; I found the problem. Hopefully your results will look better next week. Thanks for the feedback!
Outstanding! My wife and mother-n-law go every Friday and Saturday when they can go.What a great service. Very nice and easy to use. Thank you!
