Is there a way to search ALL of CL for something and not just in your locval area? Somebody may have something 500 miles away and be willing to ship it

not as far as I know. Try googling for something like 'craigslist search client' or something like that. There may be a 3rd party website that will search multiple at once.

you'll have to use firefox and change one setting. Just be careful and only search regions at a time because if you search too great, it will throw a red flag and craigslist will ban your IP address so you can't use it anymore.

Done. No crazy settings to change, use as often as you want, lol.

I've bought and sold many things around the US using it.

All will fall to the tempest!
