I have a Craigslist search set up for BGE items. One of the local BBQ places decided it would be a good idea to list each and every BGE item he sells individually, one at a time, a few a day. My alerts are constantly going off. He makes no mention of price, but the pictures are clearly from a store and are brand new. His first post was for an egg which I thought might be a retailer going out of business so I emailed him. The response was a generic "come by and see our great selection of products and our fabulous prices" or some similar nonsense.
What a hassle! I don't believe that what he is doing is against the CL rules, so I just have to suck it up. But what a pain in the butt to deal with.

@HofstraJet did you try using a minus sign in your search to exclude that BBQ retailer? Assuming he lists the name of his store in his post, your search could be "Big Green Egg" -localBBQPlace
Good luck!

Change your search preferences from all to owner and "search titles only " This should help.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

A furniture company does the same thing except they don't sell anything Big Green Egg related. They just use Big Green Egg name in their posts. So you have to skip 40-50 different ads from them on Craigslist when searching.
Just part of his keywords:
"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Make sure your search excludes dealers, and then flag every one of his ads that makes it through.Phoenix
