You cannot.

You may not post "essentially the same item" before deleting the old item. This applies even when posting in a different city or category. So if your post lends itself to more than one category, you need to alternate the categories.

Workaround: You may be able to overcome this restriction by setting up an additional account with a different email address.

You may not post the same item more than once in 48 hours. Until February of 2006, this rule wasn't strictly enforced. Now you will not be permitted to re-post until fully 2,880 minutes have elapsed.

Note that it may take about 15 minutes before a new post is accessible to users.

Hint: Bringing up your post as submitted, by clicking on its heading on your account page, will disclose the date and exact time posted, two lines below the head.

Update. As of this writing, Craigslist is requiring about 15 minutes more than 48 hours before allowing a re-post, in this quirky fashion: It will allow you to delete and resubmit (if the 2,880 minutes have elapsed), but at the end of the resubmission process it will disallow the new post as too similar to another recent post (!). To avoid this situation, add 14 or 15 minutes to the 48 hours, before reposting.
