From opening post of this thread. It just so happens I added a couple sites to the post yesterday. Allofcraigslist is the same as a google search, but craigzoom looks pretty good now and searchtempest isn't bad to look at places within driving distance.

There is craigzoom.com, crazedlist.org, searchtempest.com, dailylister.com, statewidelist.com, craigspal.com software and Craigslist Reader software, but they are not as good. I haven't tried the software/apps, but craigzoom and Searchtempest and do seem to work the best of available options. Also, you can always use google to search craigslist.org.

Also, I just thought I would remind people that BoardGameGeek marketplace is a good place to buy from that you can sometimes get deals, although many are just as high as eBay prices. Also, a lot of the people are overseas, which is great if you are too.

Good deal for anyone just starting near Portland. Looks like ROTV, RTTFF, Raknar's, Orm's, Castle, and a couple small expansions.

I'd recommend that someone local check it out in person. When I offered to buy it via PayPal and pay for shipping, here's the exact email response I received:

"oh well i dont have a paypal and ive sold some hero scape to other another person before threw mail and he sent me money threw mailing it with cash and thats how the money was trasfered and all i sold him some of the stuff you see in the pic like s few people and the bridge."

It might still be a good deal, but the response didn't exactly inspire confidence.

Well that somebody was me. He is a 15-year-old kid and he wasn't sure how to do PayPal even though I told him and a check was hard for him because he had no bank account. I even offered a Gift card of his choosing or a cash card, but he was unsure. So I broke down and sent him cash in an envelope and had it certified. Once it was signed for, he sent the squads I wanted and packed them exactly the way I told him to....to the letter.

I already asked him about the lego deathstar, and it is not for sale...but he does have a lot of other lego he is selling. He is a decent kid, just not very savvy when it comes to transactions and the post office.

I give him a B+ because we had a good transaction, but not an A because I had to pay in CASH.

Oh, and I picked up the Rttff, Greeks and Vipers, Heroes of Durgeth, and Heros of Nostraland.

Guys thanks for all the sweet info! lets see what I can find out

[Polynices]

Someone near Tacoma, WA may want to check out http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/tag/2907775154.html. $10 for a Ticalla Jungle!

I emailed him to offer him more in exchange for mailing it but he said he didn't mail things. I'm not in a position to drive down there (or I wouldn't be sharing the listing, heh) but maybe someone else lives there or nearby.

Not sure what's in here, but if someone is near Bakersfield, you might check out this.

Here is someone sellling a huge collection, apparently 4-5 of every piece, including gencon exclusives. Could be a good deal, if it lives up to what he says.
