The problem is that often if you want something that's "a little hard to find" that might be the only place. Craigslist is no better to find stuff, because "Craig" has "gone out of his way" to stifle 3rd party search engines that try to turn CL into a wider based usefulness.
And of course if you search Google, quite often the results you get are.............Edambay
The solution is not to not go there. The solution is to *****, raise hell, and be a PITA until Efreekinbay changes things so it's useful again. It USED to be!!! I don't know exactly when this changed, but about the time all the flash and razzle dazzle came along.
