Yellow Pages didn't haggle much on the price

Hi is anyone advertising with the yellow pages this year. I had quite abit of work from it last year. Didnt haggle much on the price though,payed £500 for quarter colum.Made an add myself what you think?

We have trouble every year. Last year they tried over charging us, this year we agreed (as per normal) monthly direct debit. We've just received a threatening letter from Moorcroft stating court action unless we pay the FULL amount with in 7 days.

Every year you agree with one sales rep only to have two other ring and state "there's no advertising for you on our system, and the book goes to press today"

i live in newport looks good ,just wondering if good idea to put where your based in advertisment ok will get you more local jobs but if you put south wales would increase scope and may make you look a bigger company.

thanks ,i think its swansea & south west wales. how much should you be paying for a quarter colum. i think last year i payed too much.
