not so much about the missing overall search function BUT found that at least with Kijiji roughly there are
1/3 asking fantasy prices (like more for 10 year old outboard than it would cost new from a shop, kind of since the listing is free they put everything in their household on ad and if someone foolish enough comes around it is ok to go, but no real intention of selling)
1/3 not attractive, probably using the highest price ever paid by someone for stuff, but once you inquire further you find theirs is in a worser condition (like the propeller is bent, controls are missing or it doesn't run at all
only the last third is with what I'd call with a realistic intention to sell, reasonable asking price, good stuff and only those disappear after 2-6 weeks from the ads.
I'd kind of like a system with a minimal listing fee (like single digit dollars) to get a rid of the two groups that are not "really" selling.
Cheers,
