• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

Complete system for making biodiesel at home or small business with everything needed to produce up to 50 gallons every two days, for as little as 85 cents per gallon if you can obtain a source of free used oil. Highlight of the system is a used BioPro 190, which is is an automated batch processor that will convert 50 gallons of vegetable or animal oil into 50 gallons of premium-grade biodiesel. Much like a washing machine, a user need only load the machine, turn it on and press the big green Start button. New models cost $11,820 plus tax and shipping. The machine for sale here is several years old (and greasy, as is everything used to make biodiesel!). The BioPro needs two parts replaced, which I have on hand -- the methoxide mixing paddle, and the fuel dispensing pump, which anyone who is stalwart enough to take on this endeavor should be handy enough to install.
Included with the BioPro are all the accouterments needed to make your own biodiesel:
A 300 gallon tote for finished fuel, with electric fuel dispenser and meter.
Dozens of five gallon fuel "cans," including 7 steel diesel cans, 8 yellow diesel plastic cans, 8 red plastic (gas) cans, and about two dozen plastic carboys.
Around eighteen 50 gallon drums for collection and storage of oil and/or finished fuel.
Five collection lids for the drums.
300 gallon tote for oil collection.
Drum handcart and drum dolly.
Electric methanol pump.
Several hand pumps and electric drum pumps.
Gas-powered oil collection pump.
Various other supplies e.g., filters, bung wrenches, scales, etc.
Materials needed to make biodiesel are the oil stock, water, methanol, KOH (potassium hydroxide), and sulfuric acid, which you will need to source.
Priced at retail and if new, this entire setup would cost in the neighborhood of $18,000, not taking into account sales tax and shipping. However, all of these items are well-used, so I am offering the entire lot for a out a third of that, as-is, at $6,500. I will not piece out the equipment and the buyer must take everything.
This system is perfect for the enterprising farmer, family who owns several diesel vehicles, or even a co-op of like-minded individuals who can share the work of collection and production. As fuel prices fluctuate and rise, it is very empowering to be in control of your own transportation costs.
I collected restaurant oil and made biodiesel for several years. However, it has been about four years since I stopped, and now I just want to sell the setup without questions or hassle. In other words, you will need to do your own research prior to purchasing this, be experienced with the process, or just be willing to boldly take on a new project and learn as you go. Buyer is responsible for all pickup logistics. Equipment is currently located in North Everett.

Last seen on this message board the day they posted the FS ad; I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
