I would love to create a craigslist competitor. An improvement on craigslist would be a site which allowed the user to search for item, price, location, and time together - "yoga classes on Wednesdays in Berkeley for under $100" or "garage sales Saturday with car parts" etc. What, where, when, and how-much could be specified separately and orthogonally.
Remember, getting calendaring, location, price and category to work together is a tough problem. Also, making sure postings remain fresh is tough if you do anything other than craigslist's system of making everyone repost their content every two weeks. And you would have to be willing not to monetize any more than craigslist, 'cause the users can tell.
