• 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" (
      report.gif
      ) 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.
  • There has been a recent cluster of spammers accessing BARFer accounts and posting spam. To safeguard your account, please consider changing your password. It would be even better to take the additional step of enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your BARF account. Read more here.

so hey, whoever left me neg. rep saying " die troll die" and "STFU". please god pm me so i can give you my address. i would LOVE for you to say it to my face. but i HIGHLY doubt the person will grab their sorry excuse for a dick and come forward. trust me coward. i will find out. call me an e-thug all you want on here. come to my house and you will get a pipe wrench to the teeth guarenteed.
 
ok so i guess "die troll die" isnt violent? let alone a direct threat to me? do your job and findout who sent that "mr. moderator man"
 
the admin's can easily look up who sent the comment. just like we can look up the neg comments you've sent out as well. but take a look at the 2 comments "die, troll, die" is a lot different than "come to my house and you will get a pipe wrench to the teeth guarenteed" :rolleyes. however don't worry we've changed the rep system to show the names of the posters who send it. guess it hasen't gone into affect yet. theres a thread in general about the changes.
 
yea there is a difference. one is death. the other is an asswhooping. even though i doubt anyone on here can do something that 2 tours in the sandbox couldnt.

The TOS does not cover rep, nor does it cover PMs. Your posts immediately above do not in and of themselves constitute a threat of direct physical harm, yet. Your post to VTRider is borderline in view of your identification of rep left. Keep it up in the public forums though, and it is certain to lead to a permanent ban from the board.

Personally, just from what's here, I'd never take any of my bikes to someone with that short a fuse. If you want this thread closed, please let me know and I will take care of it. If you want to start a new thread, you might want to contact budman about sponsorship.
 
someone tells me to die and I'M getting this bullshit cause i called them out? i shouldnt have gotten pissed off? yet VTRider whines and bitches about neg. rep left tha was not even close to the degree of mine, and nothing is said. please. fine. its cool. im sure ill run into one of you soon.
 
No one here is picking on you, except maybe VTRider, and he is going to cut that shit out as well, baiting and flaming is just as much a violation of the TOS, although with less severe repercussions.

You need to step back and take a breather dude. If you think your responses to the rep received are even remotely similar to the responses by VTRider, you are way to close to the situation. If you equate a threat of physical harm to laughing off a comment, you need to take a chill pill.

When someone says fuck off and die, do you really think they're threatening you? What did it do to you other than just get you all hot and bothered. Nothing, that's what.

And one more time I will spell it out for you.

W-E.....D-O.....N-O-T.....A-N-D.....C-A-N-N-O-T.....E-N-F-O-R-C-E.....T-H-E.....T-O-S.....O-N.....P-R-I-V-A-T-E.....M-E-S-S-A-G-E-S.....A-N-D .....R-E-P.

We will, however, strictly enforce the TOS on public posts. Threaten someone openly on the board with a clear threat of physical harm, and say bye bye.
 
This has got to be the strangest 'self promotion' thread I have ever seen. :wtf

I wrote this on the first page a few months ago... but now I don't think you are going the right direction here.

superNAtural01, welcome aboard.

I certainly hope that you will also be able to build such reputation on BARF and have your own thread with many positive feedbacks in it... most of the mechanics on BARF are booked weeks if not months in advance, and I certainly hope it becomes the same case for you.

and weather my attitude is bdor not, my prices/mechanica work are barnone. and some of the bes in the area. funny thing is, despite the b.s. on this thread, im still getting contacted for wrk and still doing grea work in peoples bikes :twofinger:
 
I can see the reviews now.

Mechanic/shop: superNAtural01
Pros: He does great work at a great price
Cons: He hit me in the head with a torque wrench
Summary: I called him up cause I needed a new chain and sprockets and a tune up. He said he could do the whole job for under $100. I said "100 dollars!!!!" in a shocked voice cause that's a great price and he replied "Ya, 100 bux! I do great work at a great price! If you got a problem with it come out from behind that telephone and come down here and I'll 'work you over' for free!" Well it was a good price so I go down there and when I show up hi hit's me with a wrench! I was all "WTF!" and we started talking. After everything was cleared up and he half (well, ok.... 1/4) apologized he was done with my bike the same day.

Thank you all for a very entertaining and funny 25 minutes :rofl
