Classified Ads website with private messaging enabled

[akai80]

Hi

does anyone knows which is the most user-friendly software tool to use if i were to develop a Classified Ads website with enabled private messaging among users? I would prefer to develop on a PHP/MySQL platform.

i have tried using GeoClassified but i find it quite user-unfriendly esp while trying to setup a localhost website.

are there any ready-made private messaging plugin where i can just integrate them into my own user control panel?

Cheers

Not an answer
but often the easiest to setup is the worst to use
and the worst to setup is the easiest to use,
because all the problems are taken care of during the tedious setup.
Likewise any answers of the 'best' are going to be extremely subjective.
No recommendation to the best of them or how suited they are to your use but there are 118 classified ad scripts at http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Classified_Ads/General/
