How many times have you experienced missing out on a great buy simply because you saw the ad a little bit too late? A lot of people had experienced this and you can’t do anything but kick yourself for not checking Craigslist at the time when the great buy was just posted. Well, it’s not always possible unless you’re a psychic and for that reason, we need the help of a post notification utility that alerts us of a new post that may interest us. This new post notification utility is CLHelper.
CLHelper is really a Godsent for us. Why? Because you no longer should feel sorry for ourselves every time we pass on a great buy that we missed. When a great bargain price has been posted for an item, it’s almost always a first come first serve basis and the first person to have seen the post would most likely get the transaction. If you missed it by a day or two then you surely won’t stand a chance. It’s with this reason that CLHelper could aid you with your online search.
Here’s how it works. Upon installing CLHelper, you would simply just select a category then the location you prefer and the search terms that you would be looking for and you also choose how often CLHelper should search for these terms on Craigslist. During searches, CLHelper would alert you of new post matchings via pop-up or via email. Once you received the alert, just click on the link and you’ll get to the Craigslist post right away. It’s that easy and it’s that great!
That’s the first time I’ve heard of CL helper. Looks like a good tool. I built something similar, but it has image previews and monitors craigslist even when you’re computer is turned off.
I’ve got a few new features coming soon, but I’d love to know what you think.
Ian, where may I subscribe to the monitoring service?
