Y'know, I have never been able to get eBay to work. Not with hours at my keyboard, not with hours on the phone with them (getting their phone number took significant independent research, and they asked how I got the number), not with switching browsers and computer platforms, not after detailed written complaints to customer service. They are dead to me, and their refusal to give a crap implies I'm not alone.

Don't even get me STARTED on Paypal, who admitted in writing that they make it difficult for customers to get cash Paypal admits owing them. It took me several letters over a full year to get a check for $100 they admitted owing me.

I'm now strictly a Craigslist user. At least it doesn't insist that my ONLY Zip Code and my ONLY email address are not valid.

Thanks for the site Alex. It will help when I am looking as a buyer or as a seller trying to decide on pricing & when I'm missing wind looking for another entertaining windsurfing site.

Which windsurf search terms are you using to find the Craigslist postings?

In my searches I've used: sail board, sailboard, wind surf, windsurf, windsurfer, windsurfers, windsurfing.

Here we go:

query_strings = ["windsurf", "kite surf", "windsurfing", "kitesurfing", "windsurfer", "kitesurfer", "kite surfer", "landsailer", "carveboard"]

I will add your terms too Smile
