couldn't agree more. i've tried to write my own scraper in the past to make the search more usable (at least show photos from each post next to the link so that i don't have to click through to every single link to see what pieces are for sale) and i was quickly blocked. keep in mind this was not a public site viewed by 100's of people. it was me making one search worth of individual link requests a couple times. blocked. its craigslist way or nothing.
