Product Description:

Marketplace. Craig's List. Without the Ugly.

Love Craig's List but hate how painful and ugly it is? Me too! So I made Marketplace. It takes the pain and ugly out and leaves the good stuff in.

Made for Mac - Made by a Mac user, for Mac users. It's simple, straight-forward, and fast. Everything a Mac application should be.
Find Anything - Search across multiple regions and categories. Get all the results in one convenient window. Then narrow your search down even more with built-in filtering.
Choose Favorites - Store the best results and come back to them later. Put off until tomorrow what you could do today.

What's new in this version:

Beta 4 finally brings International support to Marketplace, along with a bunch of small features and bug fixes. There were also a lot of behind the scenes changes, so please email me if you find bugs.

  • New: Now supports all regions that Craig's List supports (in theory... let me know if some are missing).
  • New: Greatly improved region selection.
  • New: Preferences!
  • New: Global refresh time to automatically refresh your searches.
  • New: Much faster searching, especially for large result sets.
  • Fixes: Squished a couple bugs that would cause crashing and GUI screw-ups.

I'd love to hear any feedback, ideas, or criticisms you may have about Marketplace. Email me with your thoughts.

Many improvements have been made since v1.1.2. Perhaps the developer could list them (and bug fixes) as they are made, here on the download page. The developer has always been responsive to issues or questions.

Marketplace ReviewStill sorta beta - Version: 1.1.2, 5/12/2009 02:01PM PST

For me, integration with Mail is spotty and unusable.
Documentation is basically non-existent.
Preferences are bare-bones.
There is no email link to the developer for bug reports from the program interface.

It's difficult to justify the price, which seems steep for a utility, especially one so newly released. I spent the month trial period sending bug reports.

On the plus side, the developer has been responsive to suggestions & bug reports. The interface looks good, if not a little pretentious ("—without the Ugly"). Appearance is tertiary to usability and utility, I should hope!

Perhaps public beta version(s) would have been more appropriate. Still not there, in my book.

I've been very happy with this software - it makes browsing Craigslist listings much faster and easier, and it integrates well with my web browser and email. My only problem is that it doesn't allow you to narrow the region (from SF Bay Area down to East Bay, for instance) nor does it let you combine regions or searches.
