Easy Way to Search Ebay for Trucks
Hey guys. I have been working on this all day. Tell me what you think.
Search Ebay for 67-72 Chevy Trucks Basically, you just go to the site above and enter your zip code and it will give you the first 50 results for 67-72 Chevy trucks starting with the closest one to you. The default zip code is 90210, so you'll need to change it to your own to get the trucks closest to you. If you use RSS (Really Simple Syndication) you can then save the feed to your RSS reader. It's really easy to check that way. All the options to save it to your feed reader are on that page. I have also been working on the same thing for Craigslist. Craigslist is a nightmare to search through, so I created a feed that does all the dirty work for you. Here's one I created that searches through the Dallas/Ft. Worth Craigslist site. 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks on Dallas/Ft. Worth Craigslist Let me know if you like the Craigslist idea. I setup one for my area and use it all the time. If you guys like it and think you'll use it, I will set it up like the ebay feed so you can customize it to your specific area. Later |

Thanks man. Glad you like it, and it was ALOT of work  . Ebay could have made it alot easier by supplying their own RSS feed instead of me having to create one. The Craigslist feed really simplifies things for me too.

I guess I'll keep everyone updated about the craigslist customized feed through this thread. Until I get it going if anyone wants a quick "how to" customize for their area just let me know and I'll post it back here. |

Re: Easy Way to Search Ebay for Trucks
The feed wasn't working for a few days. I made some changes to it and it's back up again. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
If there's any interest in the Craigslist feed let me know and I'll post a how to. It's really simple. I've already done the hard work and all you have to do is cut and paste about 7 times. Will take you like 2 mins.
