As a hobby I've made a website that shows graphs of the prices of cars for sale on craigslist.  The site's brand new and I'm still working on it, so please let me know what you think!

http://carpricegraph.com

Hey thanks a lot!  I'm just fixing some of the technical bits before I 'officially' launch.

I'm just trying to keep the site simple, clean and useful. I think seeing all those data points can help people get a better deal when they're buying a car.

I just went through the buying process myself - I did some simple price analysis and wrote a blog post about it:
http://danrathbone.com/2010/11/what-price-for-a-used-suv-scraping-craigslist-helps-me-decide/
I ended up with a great deal on a 2005 Jeep Wrangler.  You can see how that blog post led to the idea for the new site.

Anyway, thanks for looking.  Let me know if you think there's anything I can improve.

oh and pardon my temporary name 'rathbone1200cc.temp' - I accidentally disabled my first account and I can't seem to get it back.  That's pretty funny since I'm a software engineer.

i have done the exact same thing...

t the bottom of the page is the contact us link..   tell them what happened..  they do read the email...  will drop you a email with your old user name and a temp password...

you only have 2 posts.. so it really does not matter...

the system prevents the same username from being selected...

c l might even be interested..  or even this site...  its a great find...

i tried using the worthmonkey.. it does a similar thing...

once you get it up and running ..   the worth monkey took off when it was described by the tech guy on KTLA tv in los angeles...  you might try a similar thing.. but be careful that you have enough bandwidth so you don't get hammered for it from your location provider...


i was already using it to look at replacement car for the wife...

The study involved
New Jersey Escorts surveying over 3000 Americans from
New Jersey Asian Escort seven different cities, including New York, within two to three days of the attack. Participants were asked to note all the details they could remember of the day itself, their New Jersey Escort personal circumstances at the time, and how they felt. To find out whether the memories formed would be lasting ones, the group sent out the same survey to the New Jersey Asian Escorts same participants again 11 months later, and once more 35 months after the attacks.
