Have you heard of kijiji?
How would you rate it?
Would you use it?

Kijiji, the Swahilian word for village, is a free local classifieds site where you can buy and sell used and new goods. Post your ads and look for jobs, cars, furniture, pets, vacations and much more. Find new local services, people and events.

Launched on March 2005, the site is available in Italy, Canada, China, France, India, Japan and Taiwan. As well as many cities in the United States and more than 300 cities in Germany.

Kijiji is a subsidiary of eBay who acquired similar classifieds sites in order to enhance their service; on November 2004 eBay acquired, Marktplaats.nl for the Netherlands’ users which, under the name Intoko, branched out to Canada, Germany, Spain and Turkey. On May 2005, eBay acquired Gumtree for cities in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Britain.

Yes – they run a pretty broad campaign all over the web some year or two years ago. I would place them as second largest classifieds on the net – however, they have reached 200K uniques per day while craigslist.org easily hit 10mln: quite a difference. (in USA)
I would rate them just fine – the second alternative, after craigslist, for posting free classifieds online.
I have used it and would use it in future – it is just fine and its always better to have posts on two classifieds sites rather than one.
