I don't see the attraction of craigslist. The site is so bare and fugly that it looks like one of those dodgy mirroring sites that are trying to bump up search engine ranks. Its also just full of spam and crap. I guess it might be different in the US where more people use it.
It really depends on the area. There are many CL cities even in the US that are full of spam and crap. Without the traffic of honest users to flag the crap it doesn't go away or get better.
All up and down California, though, it's a fantastic market. Like a searchable boot sale or auto jumble (to put it into UK vernacular).
It's a shame it hasn't caught on as well abroad, but it could be the large population of 'fluent' internet users over here that has driven it.
