In Memory of Rod Kelley - This is all his fault.
He dragged me kicking and screaming back into the bike world after I left it.

We are considering the sale of Linkert Carbs. * due to health and age

* Please note that we do not have to sell the business, and if we do not find a buyer that interests us and values the business and our customers as much as we do, we will not sell it, period * Price is as of 04/18/17, Reason for selling - I simply wish to retire and spend more time hunting, fishing & riding with my friends, but frankly, I have had the time of my life with this business and met many great people.
I can honestly say that I still enjoy getting up and going to work every day. Can you ?
Also note that we are expanding our product line through all of 2017 and price will increase as we bring new products into inventory.
Also, be sure you have financing or capital in place so that you do not waste your time.

The price would be $ 650,000 or reasonable offer, and includes ALL parts inventory & rebuilt carbs
 as of day of sale .
This does include both carburetor web sites,
 www.linkertcarbs.com & www.linkertcarburetors.com
 It does NOT include the "Into The Wilderness" name or my other web sites, nor does it include my fox logo.
And to answer a couple of questions, no, we will NOT compete with you, but we
will help you get up and running. We  will help buyer convey all shopping carts, both web sites, and help train in carb building if needed, as negotiated, and consult as negotiated. You should be able to actually start processing sales from day 1 .
No real estate is involved. It will include all stock inventory at time of sale, 2 web sites, 2 professional bead blast cabinets, 2 late model upright compressors, antique DAKE size "O" mechanical press, misc hand tools, sources, carb inventory at time of sale, parts inventory at time of sale, 2 bench model drill presses, 2 benchtop sanders, misc. supplies, much gridwall, 10x20 show tent, + heavy duty 10x20 custom made show tent that can also be set up as 10x10, show tables, 2 credit card machines, complete web sites on hard drive,etc. Expansion possibilities limited only by your imagination. You not only have our unique, established, & growing carburetor market, but also dealerships for Eastern, V-Twin, & James Gaskets to use and expand as well as expansion in the antique motorcycle show world. Buyer should also have a well rated ebay account as we treat this as expensive, but effective, advertising.
  Financial records available to sincere buyer. Payback currently estimated at 5-6 years without expansion. Easiest and quickest way to expand will be ADVERTISING & additional antique motorcycle shows such as Wauseon, Dixon, Barber, etc. but do not lose sight of the fact that we are primarily a worldwide mail order business that does not even advertise !
   It is an absolute must that any potential buyer likes to deal with the public and is willing to spend a lot of time just helping people with advice and verbal service that you will not be paid for, but will be greatly appreciated by those you help, and usually results in sales down the road. This is considered part of the service of this business.  If you do not like dealing with the public and are not willing to treat every customer as a personal friend (and many have become friends over the years), then this is not a business for you, nor will we sell it to you.
Personal advice to any potential buyer - learn to make really good cookies - seriously.
