WEB QUERY: ORGANIZING ONLINE CLASSIFIEDS

Executive Summary

I love spending time in the outdoors and finding a good deal. Since I grew up in Utah, I have used KSL classifieds to buy and sell several items. It is a unique website that connects buyers and sellers. It also has more users and greater reliability than Craigslist. For this project, I created a webquery that could help me search for items using the search tools of KSL. I plan to use this to collect information on postings I am interested in such as, backpacking equipment, ski tickets, and classic Nintendo games. Because I have a background knowledge in this equipment and typical prices, I could visually sort out the good buys and make purchases for my own use or to flip.


This project would allow a user to search the KSL classifieds for any specific item. The user could edit their search results and have displayed for them all the postings meeting their search requirements. If a user had a specific interest in a certain item, they could click on a link to the right of the post to access the internet and find more information. I feel this is a great solution for people that want to quickly review and compare postings on the KSL classifieds.
