Reading the other thread about people possibly liquidating toys here if things stay rough. It got me thinking it might be a good time to keep an eye out for stuff like a new to me ATV, some theater equipment, hell even a car trailer for the right deal etc...

I’m still working a normal schedule so browsing all day long isn’t really an option - are there any good sites or apps to set up alerts for what you’re looking for?

You can do a nationwide search on CL for a specific item. Saves a bunch of time browsing.

The offerup app has something like this. You can favorite a specific type of item and it'll send push notifications to your phone when one pops up.

realistically you have to check CL every 1-2 days if you wanna score the deals. Use the left side to narrow it down ie: clean title, $2000-6000, year 2002-2012, etc. There is no lazy man way to do it.

I’m gonna try setting up all the email alerts and see what happens. If I snag a deal great, if not I don’t really care. There’s nothing I’m dying for but a few things that would be cool to grab if the price was right (aka I can have it as a toy for a bit and at least get my money back later).

always wanted a TRX450R, shit like that.

right now should be a great time to buy. People will be desperate for cash due to layoffs,.
