I use searchtempest.com to do craigslist radius searchs. I just sold a Yamaha 8hp short shaft on pittsburghs craigslist so you probably never seen it. With searchtempest you can have saved searches that will search all the sites in an area like u usually search 200 miles from pittsburgh as my default. I found on ebay a 9.9 high thrust extra long shaft and found the person that had it. I called them because they are in a city that i visit for work so it was easy for me to pick up and i saved 400 off their buy it now price with cash and local pickup. I searched often and watched the activity on it so it was a easy deal. The one i got was electric start and in perfect shape only had about 10 hours on it but it is a 2007. I ran it there and took it home with me for $1500. So look around and use the saved searches to your advantage.
