Craigslist is a chicken-egg type of place. Its a destination for selling/buying because everyone knows its a destination for selling/buying. This will never gain traction because why use what you have when Craigslist does the job? People do it to sell/buy, not make a fun webapp. Your best bet is to change your advertising. Maybe only market to hackers, and suggest it as a good place to buy used Macs or hardware from other trusted hackers. Maybe even integrate it with HackerNews identities or something. Trying to out-craigslist craigslist is an impossible feat. You've probably learned a lot but considering you're fighting a gorilla with a tack and you're not making any money from it my guess is you'll lose interest fast unless you refocus.
