Yago nailed it, but I'll add my $0.02 to this specious idea that some vendors have "inside knowledge". When I owned AutoRevo, we built a CL posting tool and as someone who contributed quite a bit of the source code to this tool, I know about as well as anyone else the ins and outs of CL.


There is no secret sauce; there is no proprietary API that only some vendors have access to. Craigslist hates all vendors equally.  Any vendor that will lie to you like that isn't a vendor you should do business with.


I'm not involved with any company that offers CL posting tools any more, but from what I see it's largely a commodity service. Choose a provider that offers the best management tools; gives you the most insights into ROI, etc. Don't choose one based on their "inside knowledge" of CL.
