Argh...I had one last week that I missed out on too and I found it very shortly after posting.

There is a newer ap for craigslist called Cplus for Craigslist. It does really well searching your specified cities for what you are looking for. It also has the ability to alert you when what you are searching for is listed, though I’ve struggled with making that work.

Try “wrecked Silverado” in the alerts. Then be sitting in your truck with trailer hooked up, cash in hand and engine idling for when the alert pops up. It seems you have to be that quick anymore.
