It looks interesting and appears free
BUT..
I signed up to post a free ad. After signing up they couldn't gaurantee the safety of my information first. Then I saw a charge of $4.95 for a 30 day ad with the option to renew for 5 months for FREE.
That was okay until they asked for payment and I was given a choice of "credit" "paypal" or "credit card" for the $4.95.
When "credit" didn't work as I have no outstanding credit with them I selected Paypal.
THIS is what I didn't like:
I was immediately directed to a Paypal looking website which had the "https" in the header but it didn't quite look like Paypal.
So I opened another browser and went to my paypal site independantly there I discovered a difference. In my other browser there appeared the "https" and down the string there appeared a /us/.
This tipped me off I was on PAYPAL and when I went back to the NLA site to check the browser address detail it was not the same,there were lots of PAYPAL and Https but nowhere did it specify /us/ in the header.
So I would beware and let this site hang out there for awhile.
There is too much phishing for data going on out there these days.

Thanks goatfarmer
Ken,
I somehow found that web site several months ago and I forgot to save it under my AOL favorites. I tried to find it again a couple weeks ago but could not. Thanks for reminding me of it.
When I discovered it at first, I saw that there was a small amount of parts listed and it looks like that has not changed.

We'll see what happens. The Paypal misdirection does sound like a scam!
