I just called to list something in there and they want $21 a week to list it... last i checked it was all 100% free (with a few exceptions) when did this change?

FREE!!!! NO HASSLE!

EMAIL THEM IN!

Make sure you put your price and phone number!

I don't know if these free ads go online anymore but they DO go in the paper version for sure. Sold 2 cars this way (wrecked Mercedes and a 93' Pathfinder)+ tons of other stuff.

Just email them in every week whenever you get a second, copy/paste, done.

free ads are pointless in the Bargain Finder...they are way to small to sell anything, not to mention they dont go on the website ...pay for it and youll get a huge ad :)

and 1% of the city knows about it, lets sell a vehicle with 0 exposure.. gooo common sense...

.. if you were to advertise for free with 0 exposure or pay to get great exposure which would you choose?

i rest my case :closed:

No, but apparently you ARE! online only ads start at free, and depending what you want to add to it then they start charging you.

thats not what i was talking about.

dude he called the office and wanted to get it in for thursdays paper after the deadline there are charges for that, one of which is $8.56 which can put your ad on the website right away....on the website if you do an online only free ad you cannot place a vehicle ad... so i strongly suggest you get off your high horse and get your facts straight..

plsthxbaibai

and also ONLINE ONLY ads dont go ONLINE right away, which brings me back to the original point that to get an ad instantly onto the website it costs $8.56

FREE ADS in the bargain finder are small ads and they only go in for 1 week but if you were to pay for your ad, they will make your a huge and put it in the website which is the number 1 advertsing website in Alberta. THE WEBSITE isnt free for vehicles. Sometimes we just tell people they are free but it realy isnt. The ads only go online if you pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...TRY IF YOU LIKE ... 255-3511 ...........GO HARD DUMB ASS...............
