If you are looking for something specific, say a Queen Anne brocaded couch circa 1965, you can set up a Craigslist alert to be notified when something new pops up that fits your criteria. This is how you do it:- Go to your city's Craigslist, and click on "Furniture."
- Then enter your search term(s), what you're willing to pay, and whether you're looking for something from a furniture dealer or private seller.
- When you're done, click "Enter."
- Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- You'll see an orange button with the letters RSS. Click on that button.
- You'll see a whole page of funny lookin' code in your browser window. Copy that page's URL and paste it into your favorite feed reader.
- Now you can be notified via your feed reader every time an item is posted on Craigslist that meets your criteria.
