<VV> Flattery or Forgery?

[corvairs]

Grant - They were sent back to you for warranty I assume? Get used to 
it. We get all sorts of stuff back that we didn't sell, but because we 
have a more liberal warranty/returns policy than our competitors and you 
can guess the rest.  If there really IS someone out there selling carbs 
and claiming that they're yours that should be easy to find. However, I 
would not assume that is the case just because someone  has sent you 
some carbs for warranty work.

If someone is selling under your name, and has been doing it for several 
months,  it should be very easy to find out who. They're not exactly 
going to be keeping a low profile - or what would be the point? As you 
know, Steve Goodman rebuilds all our carbs and has for over 15 years - 
and yes, we have had some come in for warranty that were supposed to be 
Goodman carbs and weren't. But it never occurred to me that someone was 
commercially passing thier own rebuilds off as ours. You must have more 
information that you're not sharing.

The entire Corvair community should be made aware of ANYONE who falsely 
passes off products.    Lon
