Any business person that does not separate their business and personal assets is foolish

What's common is people creating an LLC for selling carburetors and fuel pumps. Some customers of that LLC might not know about the LLC unless they really look for it. Even then they might not understand the ramifications of it which is there to limit any liability of the person who created the LLC. As example, it's basically saying that if a device the LLC creates malfunctions and causes a fire and burns down your vehicle you can not hold the owner of the LLC responsible. Much more serious than the NDA you describe above in your comments.
So if I buy that Bocar carb from you and the fuel inlet comes out and starts a fire, I can sue you personally or can I only sue your business entity?

Your ABOUT page is missing business info. Not sure if its by accident or on purpose.

Hey Marcel. Can I just buy a part and move on. And share my experience on the Buyer/Seller feedback forum? You got the goods but man, if i had restrictions on sharing my experience or freedom of speech, I’m out. By the way, I’ve sought out alternative sources for parts because some folks (Not on the Samba) said they had to agree to terms I’m not comfortable with. Maybe what they said was bullshit.

Can I just buy a part from you and get it. Just like any other part I buy from various online vendors and brick and mortar retailers?

Sure. What would you like to buy?

I never saw you had an LLC or other type of entity. Did you? Most states have restrictions on that so you have to make it obvious a customer is purchasing from one.

I never tried to controlled what people post in my feedback topic.

So... is it true that customers have to agree to certain terms before they can purchase? If so, please post these terms in your feedback so everyone knows before they contact you.

Unless....

If that happened you should call a lawyer. They'd give you some excellent advice.

What agreement are you talking about? Maybe you should post it somewhere so everyone can see it.

You do have some good stuff. And not everything is out of my budget. Most importantly was if I needed a part. Can I just buy it without bullshit. I will buy from you if there is no restrictions or requirements on purchasing. Should the part fill my needs and budget.

I am going to give you and only you an extra helping of BS with a cherry on top. Just for you though because you seem to like it so much.

It's grease in Swedish.

$297

Must be magic grease.

Weird it has a picture of a bearing, not a distributor :-k

This one is $30

Makes you wonder if they used it in bearings too. Did you use it on distributors when rebuilding them?

I used bosch distributor grease, along with genuine bosch rebuild parts only.

Where to send your original German Solex carb

It will come back better than new.

A cheap one to allow you to drive the car while waiting, but i'l ask about the turn around before I wasted $57.

If you have a good core that's not a bad deal. It won't come back better than new but you will be very happy with it.

For the secondary carburetor you need if you need it only once buy a $60 amazon special. If you want a really good one get the Bocar unit. It's FACTORY NEW. It's made by the same factory that VW used.

Whatever you decide do not let your carburetor sit up for any long periods. They get clogged and need cleaning - both new and rebuilt can have this issue.
