Hi, I was wondering how you found all of these listings on Craig’s List? If I search on “Craftsman” or “Arts and Crafts” for example, I get mostly listing that aren’t relevant (e.g., Craftsman tools).
Dano, I use combinations of words to narrow it down: mission + oak, mission + antique, arts & crafts (in quotes); antique craftsman; mission craftsman, etc… You can also search for items with photos in them only – that is sometimes helpful. But I wade through a LOT of crap for every item I list.
Are these lists helpful to you? If people like them, I’d considering doing a more complete one every week.
