Checklist:
• Make sure your telephone number is included in the ad text, if desired
• If you are selling or renting an item or property, we recommend including the price in your ad
• Spell out the words. The Star-News charges by the word, not the line, so abbreviations don't save you any money. They just make your ad harder to read (Exception: OBO for "or best offer" is OK)
• Save yourself money by not leading off your ad with the words FOR SALE, or FOR RENT. That is already taken care of by the category (for instance HOUSES FOR SALE)
• For information on how your classified ad will look and what restrictions we apply to ad content,

To estimate your ad cost (per insertion)
• Count the number of words and numbers in your ad (a telephone number is one word). If the total is under 15, your ad will be $7.00 per insertion. If the total is above 15, then subtract 15 from your total and multiply the difference by 10¢.
Example: a 20 word ad will be $7.50 per insertion (15 words at the $7.00 flat rate and 5 more words at 10¢ each, or 50¢)
• Be aware that our count might differ from yours, so the actual ad charge may be slightly different.
