Lookforge - classifieds made simple was developed using Drupal 6 and is a free classifieds website for US, Canada, Australia, UK and New Zealand.
The aim was to create a website that had a simple look and feel and wasn't too overloaded with features. The basic ability to be able to signup quickly and then start posting ads is what makes it easy for people to use.
Just about no custom development was needed with the implementation of contributed Drupal modules and some code snippets within CCK fields.
The overall putting together of the site was very quick, and done in spare time less than a couple of weeks.
Please feel free to take a look and feedback what could be used and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Added:
One of the other modifications was to set up custom forms such as Tell a Friend. This was done using webforms module and customising the template. Each webform can be modified to have a custom email template (see the webform handbook: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/webform).

This is great!
Hey Ben,
I think that it's great that you put the time and effort into making a website that the community can use, uncluttered and simple. Keep it going and don't get discouraged.

I like your site,
I like your site, particularity the Free code. I have been working on a classifieds section for my site and I was wondering how to let other site oner's add/share the add content to there site. Is there a module you used to share the code.
Thanks
