• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.

I'm looking to be Your ROOMMATE!? (OLD thread, folks - don't reply to the ad, lol)

Ohayou gozaimasu / Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him on BARF/Craiglist/Fetlife (again). I'm a 28-year-old "professional" IT/Writer/Dispatcher/WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE/Hard Laborer ( Digging holes and shit ) with experience at bad-ass/horribly run/Start Up companies all over the FUCKING Bay Area. That's right! What do you know about experience? I graduated from Stanford University in CA, and moved to South Carolina at the ripe, tender age of <Inquisitorial edit> because I joined the MOTHERFUCKING ARMY to get my hands upon some awesome PTSD. After deciding that the Army was a stinky shit-hole waste of time, I moved back to California to cultivate more professional experience that didn't involve shooting people. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post pathetic cries for help/shit like this on BARF/Craiglist/Fetlife. . .

EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN TOLD IS A LIE

Anyway, so I landed this job with a law firm in Oakland, and I have no fucking clue where to live and I don't want to move in with my Mom, again. Honestly, I'm moving there soon, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub/closet/garage.

FOR THE EMPEROR

A bit about me: I'm respectfully quiet, clean and I won't touch any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine!" I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you if you buy the ingredients. That's right! My Uncle is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking Filipino/Chinese/Italian cuisine coupled with whatever else you throw in my lap cause it's in a fuck awesome cook book! I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GOD-DAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off.

IT IS BETTER TO DIE FOR THE EMPEROR THAN TO LIVE FOR YOURSELF

I also read a lot. I fucking LOVE books. Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Hawthorne, Poe. All that shit. I read the entirety of the Scottish Rite the other day. I learned something about life, love, knowledge and the pursuit of something greater than myself. Fucking smart. Do you like movies? I fucking love them. We can watch the shit out of some movies together if you like, or go get drinks, or work out, hike, play video games or play a game of one-on-one basketball ( I'm pretty shitty since I'm 5'6 ), or I don't have to talk to you at all. It's completely UP TO YOU!

DIE XENOS SCUM

Sometimes I play guitar, badly. Are you going to love getting baked and listening to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd? LIVE? WHENEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT? Of course you are! I'll take requests and learn any song you like, because I have the voice of like Cee Lo Green and the acoustical stylings of Joe FUCKING Satriani. AWW HELL YEAH! ( Though whenever I sing and play, I'm usually drunk, so . . . )

FOR TERRA

A lot of people ask me, "Hey, you're from Oakland. Are you racist?" And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all ( unless you deserve it, but that's another thing entirely ). I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE. That's the only requirement to being a secular humanist actually. You have to like other human beings and want to help them for no other reason than they are human regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. WTF?!!!? Pretty fucking cool right? Fnord.

TERMINATUS

I own almost nothing! At most I own three motorcycles, ten twenty gallon totes, two C bags filled with clothes, six computers, a handful of firearms ( ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE ), a fistful of Condoms and maybe a closet worth of small stuff along with five pairs of boots. Though, you can expect the Condoms to be gone upon my arrival. Unless you'd like me to pick up some on my way in. See?! I'm the most considerate person you've ever met. I'm offering to buy you shit already!

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD EMPEROR

Am I interested in your pad? You can bet my nomadic ass I am! I only require 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor to shelter me and my motorcycles from the elements. Other than that, anything else will be considered a convenient plus. I'm taking being a roommate to the next level. MESSAGE ME!? I'll hook yo sweet ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of miniatures I've painted and a list of the top 100 women I'd like to bang before I die. If you want a next-generation roommate who consistently blows your fucking mind with awesomeness, then hit me up. I'm ready to give you money.

I also play Warhammer 40k.

. . . and moonlight as a DJ.

I mean, come now. After reading that how could you NOT want him as your roomie.
It takes a fine skill set to write such an amazing wanted add.

On a serious note, he's a solid dude. Not wanting to move back in with his Mom. He enjoys beer at 1 in the afternoon, riding motorcycles and has a solid paying gig. What more could you ask for from a roomie.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

A few have asked if I am willing to relocate further.

At this current time I can only ENTERTAIN ideas within the follow areas in numerical order of importance.

1. Alameda ( Easier to defend an island when the ZOMBIES come )
2. Piedmont ( Currently residing here with a friend, but I don't want to stay here with her forever. . . my JAW is starting to HURT, yeah buddy! )
3. Oakland
4. Berkeley
5. San Francisco

MONEY is not an ISSUE, but I'd enjoy not paying an ARM and a LEG, though if you'd like to be paid in body parts, I may have a few cold ones I can toss your way.
