Hi All,

Due to the huge number of people who visit my site that are looking to sell items I don't want to buy, I thought it might be a good idea to offer a Niche classified site. The offerings of software for this seems to be immense and I'm trying to winnow out the best solution.

I've come across a number of Craig's list clone type scripts which seem to be the answer, but each site claims to be the originator and is claiming to be in the process of suing the others ;~) Any input would be appreciated.

Lovejoy

You could do worse than look at 68Classifieds - we've used it in the past and were happy for what we required.

I found that advertisers totally ignore the niche status and either advertise off topic items (eg cars on a dedicated music site) or use it to publicise things that already have established channels (again with our music site putting gig listings on the classifieds rather than using our listings service). In the end I found that I was spending too much time moderating and removed the service.
