That's why I never did any serious searching on CL- keyword bloat. Every meathead has to put at least fifty brand/model words down at the bottom of his post to make sure that his POS shows up in everyone's search. .

I got both the Black Widow and the Turtle through Craigslist, but I never just search blindly.
I always type in the model name, then I filter by "title" and "pics".
You won't get all the spam ads if you click "title". And I never bother calling about anything on C/L that doesn't include a pic (and I also bypass all "stock" pics).
I always call, and text too just in case. If I get an answering machine I always leave a message. If they provide an email address I also email just in case. Any hot item will go quickly in my market, and it pays to be the first to leave a message on somebody's phone.
