Classifieds was a Swiss magazine for classified ads of Publigroupe and Swisscom , based in Glarus .

The magazine was launched in 1983 and then appeared weekly. As of 1992, the 80-page booklet contained around 8,000 classified ads and was printed on yellow newsprint - which was considered a trademark. At that time it counted 33,000 kiosk buyers and 10,500 subscribers and cost CHF 3.50 or CHF 187 for an annual subscription. Fundgrueb did not contain any editorial content, it was limited to classified ads that could be posted free of charge.

The magazine was discontinued in 2009 due to a lack of profitability, as the online competition became too great according to the then Executive Board member Jean-Pascal Michel. The last issue was published on July 31, 2009.
