Craigslist is one of the most visited websites in the world at more than 8 billion page views per month and supposedly a symbol of the internet community spirit. It is often in the news for its community involvement and the non-commercial nature of it. We evaluated all the possible reasons for this, but we couldn't come up with a good reason why more African countries weren't listed. In every large town in Africa, people have internet access either in their homes, but mostly in the numerous internet cafes scattered throughout town.
Currently in Africa, if you are looking for a new or used computer or cell phone you have to rely on the local shop keeper. You are forced to take the price that they give you after you haggle them down a few dollars. In the rest of the world, you can check online, check the local stores and check your local Craigslist for the best price in town. What often happens in Africa is you end up paying way too much because you are not aware of all the people in town that might be selling the same product.
