Gumtree ads up from 99p to £5.99!

A 605% increase, ouch! £5.99 seems to be the new price for a basic advert without a website link or any extras.

What other directories do people use to advertise their businesses? Any cheap or free suggestions?

    Do you mean an ad that I might put on there to sell my sofa? I've never paid a penny for those.

    Edit - this is for business users? I think that's fair enough really and probably means that I and many others can list the items they own, but no longer want. I've always wondered how they made money and now I know.

    OP's a business, so charges apply.

    Do you have a business account? Discounts for account holders, no idea what discounts though.
