I know that some of you are actively or passively looking for All-Tracs and parts.  I've been using the Craigslist.org scanning site http://www.craigzoom.com (also can use http://www.craigszoom.com) to quickly scan all Craigslist sites.  You can also choose individual states and then cities, all without having to change the URL.  

This is not the only meta-search like this. There are other sites that also search all Craigslist including a Google custom search, http://www.searchtheentirecraigslist.com, http://www.crazedlist.org, http://www.craiglook.com, etc.

In particular, the last site given http://www.craiglook.com has a nice web 2.0 interface, shows local listings based on your IP address, and shows images next to the listings.  This scanning site may soon become my favorite.

Thanks for the links.  Craiglook is especially useful - really powerful search engine with a simple interface.

I like to use searchtempest.com
It allows you to search anywhere and gives you quite a few options. And it's quick to go through the different cities if you change the options to one city at a time. This is especially true when looking for something very specific.

sad to report that craiglook is no more - craigslist threatened legal action earlier this year, so they had to revise their format. now they only search oodle instead of CL  

i am happy to report that searchtempest works pretty well as a substitute, tho
