Somehow, the Corvair people got something up and running

http://www.corvairproject.com/cgi-bin/corvair_ms.cgi

it is updated every 1/2 hour and collects from craigslist, ebay, etc

I'd like that

wow.....that's really neat.

I might have to try to figure out how that was done...

Wow, you guys rock!
I'm going to poke the pig again for another $25 - who cares if it hasn't been a whole year for me? I get that back almost every time I log in here.

Ask and ye shall receive, eh?

ROCK ON!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Basically they are putting into their page the RSS feed from the site where the for sale adds were placed. You can achieve the same thing by using any free RSS reader, lots of them that are out there. You can incorporate these feeds into a RSS reader or even add them to you favorite homepage (myYahoo, Google homepage, MSN homepage, etc...).

Even AlfaBB.com has a RSS feed that can be embeded into any RSS reader or RSS capable home page.
