This touched a nerve with me. You might feel better when you hear what the local paper (the only one) charges for an ad to rent an apartment. It's the same three line ad that you typically get for an auto sale. However, in their infinite greed, they won't run it for three days........have to run if for seven days.........are you ready to bend over........

$275.00

I can't possibly use them for such a purpose. I'll use the local Yankee Trader rag or the Pennysaver at a cost of $48.00. Not as good.......and you might need to run it a couple of times.......but I'll be GD if I'll pay them $275.00 for a three line ad. These people are simply outrageous.
