• 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.

AMA #: 3188342
Price: $1500.00/month plus electricity and gas (water and trash included)

Location: Felton, CA. Up the hill a little from the main neighborhood on the west side. Walking distance to Henry Cowell about a half dozen blocks to the bottom of Felton Empire.

Property Description: About 1.5 acres of fairly flat, sunny land. Fully fenced with gate. Main house is old two story farm house with daylight basement apartment. Detached 3 car deep garage with studio attached to end. Private road with no through traffic.

Studio Description: Detached deep 3 car garage has 14 foot wide structure built onto end. The first 12.5' is a workshop (with water heater, washer/dryer and slop sink) and the studio is the last 22.5'. So that's 315 square foot interior space (including galley kitchen down one side, framed off stall shower/vanity/toilet and open closet) and 175 square foot shop area. The studio includes one of the garage spaces. Obviously, in addition to your own laundry machines, there's a fridge and a stove in the studio. Last person was here for 4 years so it just got: updated fridge, updated stove, new light fixtures, new toilet, paint throughout, updated plugs and switched. There's a large yard area between the studio/garage and the property fence for whomever lives there to do as they please. Hang out, garden, etc...

Other Stuff: With the person in the studio there will be 5 adults on the property total. My partner and I (the owners), a room mate in the main house, a tenant in the downstairs apartment and of course the person in the studio. All of us have regular jobs the new person should be the same. Folks in the hood (including us) like quiet nights and starlight. That doesn't mean that during the day we aren't running motorbikes or wrenching on stuff we just knock it off at a reasonable time (like 9pm during the week and 11pm on weekends?). New person will have to get along with everybody. Small critter considered but we already have some you'll have to share ours. Everybody does a little yard work. Studio tenant will have to take care of their adjacent space. There's other little stuff. Upshot of the deal is you need to be able to get along and be a responsible adult. Drama queens need look elsewhere.

All I can think of off the top of my head. Nice spot last guy was there for 4 years. Posting here because it occurs to me it's perfect for somebody who has very little furnishings but perhaps a few bikes and nice car they would like to keep covered.

Currently vacant. PM if interested. Will update when it rents.
 
Sounds nice Pics would be cool.
 
Forgot to mention something: it's for ONE PERSON. We are on a septic and with 5 adults on the system it's OK but I'm not going to push it. I'm way too familiar with my system.....

This doesn't mean you can't have you're "other half" over here and there, or maybe you're a weekend dad with a kid (been there, done that). Just means full time occupancy is for one.

Not going out of my way to get a bunch of pics up I'm old school and the technology annoys me :afm199. Besides if you're interested it's worth the time to see it in person :teeth.
 
Sounds awesome and I wish I could. Paying that on rent here in the desert. Electrical is killing me though too embarrassed to admit how much. Timing is everything 6 more months on lease here. I know op I got nothing. 😕
 
Sorry forgot to update this it rented some time ago to a bicycle nut fellow. At least it's to somebody who loves two wheels!
 
Let me know if it frees up anytime soon, sounds ideal for me.
