• 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.

WTG - the pay it forward thread.

This thread has almost 4,500 posts and counting.

What's the pay it forward thread? WTG = Want To Give. In the spirit of the holidays and BARF being generally full of good people regardless of our other differences, I thought I'd start this and see where it goes. Please try to keep tertiary discussion to a minimum to reduce thread clutter. Rules are as follows, copied directly from the other thread.

1. If you accept the item, you must in turn give away something else of equal or greater value
2. Post "I'll take it" to secure the free item, and PM the person giving it away. This will help keep thread clutter to a minimum.
3. When you receive your free item, post the item that you are giving away (post it in this thread)
4. If you fail to ship your item, you get negative feedback...not sure how given BARF doesn't have an iTrader system like CG, but BARF's also a smaller community and word gets around pretty quickly.

Rules I'm adding:
5. Do not accept an item simply to make a quick buck. I shouldn't even have to make this a rule, but I'd really hope to not see anything someone gives away out of their own generosity pop up in a for sale thread on Craigslist.
6. Make it as easy as possible on the person giving stuff away. I'd say as a general guideline, if they're giving away something that can't fit in a backpack on one trip on a bike, the receiver needs to make the extra effort not the giver - ie, offer to pay shipping or come get the stuff you want in person.


Also, try to make your free item something a wide variety of people want. That being said, who knows what someone else may need or want. I'm reasonably sure anything can be worked out between people if there are items too bulky to ship easily or anything. Also, practical/useful items should take precedence over decorative, but to each his own. I'm just of the mindset that aesthetics/decorations are far more subjective than moto parts or whatever but that's just my personal feelings on this thread. If it works it works and my goal is to simply build the community a bit more. :thumbup

Starting things off...I have an Xbox 360 controller, rear cowl (dark silver) for an 06-07 GSXR 600/750, or rear seat for same. Also have a Mako grip for an AR15.

Maybe this is bass-akwards, but I can adapt. I would like the clothes to donate to an organization I've recently started volunteering for called World Impact.
In shortest terms, they set up a house staffed by a family in some of the most broken neighborhoods. The family provides a Bible based safe haven for kids to hang out, grab a meal get homework help and basically stay off the street.
Thee are several in Fresno and the neighborhoods have lots of kids of all ages. Baby clothes would be a nice Christmas gift to these folks.
My pay it forward, I may have already done. A member wanted a stock for a Mossberg shotty, we set a price and I asked him to not send me the money but to do a random act of kindness with it.
If I should, I can happily find a way to pay forward to someone else.
I'm in Fresno/Clovis and will pay the shipping on the clothes via Paypal or whatever works if this suggestion seems ok.

:laughing this happened in the other thread too. As nice as it would be to have things taken one at a time nice and linear, I'm all for helping each other out with again the only caveat being if you take something, give something.

Sorry you changed your mind. But I'll still do this:
How about this? I'll donate minimum 200 rounds of the elusive 22LR ammo to whoever wants to take a youngster shooting for the youngsters first time. I think I can UPS using an ORM-D Label but we'll work it out.

What the shit is this...
Free: Eight $1 carwash tokens to the place next to SCC on El Camino in Santa Clara. They ended up in my change jar, and I'm almost 900 miles away. :laughing

i bet claiming those would cost more than just buying some... that's a good DIY spot, one of the few that lets you de-grease an engine.

You could probably mail those for a dollar or two in an envelope. Kinda funny though.

OK - a couple contributions!

1. Grill - Works Great, wife wanted a nicer looking one in our backyard (Does not include propane tank though)

2. Jones New York Suit - Size 42 Regular Jacket with 33 waist, 32 inseam pant. Good condition, I paid like $200 for it. Would work for someone's kid or something trying to get a few first interviews. It was the first suit I had about 8 years ago. I never really wore it after. No holes or smells or anything.

3. I also have two other suits that are the same size you can have if you want them. They were expensive, from Franco Uomo in the mall. About $500 each. They are real nice, good condition, maybe worn a dozen times each. Same thing, size 42 Regular Jacket with 33 waist, 32 inseam pant. One is black and one is black with copper pin stripes about 1cm apart.

Ducky - suits are a great idea. Lots of people trying to land a job without being able to drop coin on a suit. Ill have to dig one up that no longer fits
