      I wrote my own some time ago because it was the only way get the features I wanted. But the code is a mess because I was less experienced and I plan to rewrite it this fall using a PHP framework to save time. Then I'll release the code just in case someone can use it (but it will be very targeted to my own specific needs so I doubt this will be the case). If you know PHP, pick an easy framework (CodeIgniter for example) and try to build your own. The one I made from scratch took me nearly three months and it was exactly wan I wanted it to be. Had I used a framewwork it would have take me a month or less!

      Now, if you don't have the skills or the time to get them, I'd recommend you to try one of these:

      Osclass, the free classifieds script

      DClassifieds Free Classifieds Script

      I think ClassiPress is not free.

    Mary:

    As Arjillo stated - these are both good scripts - but have you thought this thru - there are thousands of free sites out there and it is a tough marketplace to get into without a huge advertising budget - and if your looking for a free script that is not the way to go.

    Osclass, the free classifieds script

    DClassifieds Free Classifieds Script

    You will spend a lot of time and energy and unless you have something really special - to put it bluntly your wasting your time.

    What is your reason for wanting you own site??

    Please explain and perhaps I can offer you a free solution to what your trying to do.

    I seriously have thousands upon thousands of hours into building a site that we are about to launch and if I had it to do all over I would go in another direction.

      That's another story, but you are absolutely right! Unless you can find a lucrative local niche with almost no competition (does this even exist?), I don't think there is space for yet another classifieds site. Well, maybe if you came with a clever idea that no other thought about... but if you are looking for a generic free script... Give it a thought or your could end up spending a lot of time for nothing!

    Arojilla: definitely agree with the niche segment you mentioned. That's the biggest problem for all: make it different from other sites around.
    BTW, i vote for Osclass
