Re: Kinetic Vehicles molds and parts
Can you please elaborate on your intention here? Are you looking for somebody to basically become a supplier to Kinetic Vehicles for the Locost stuff or, despite what was publicly said from both side when Kinetic Vehicles was sold to you, are you stripping Kinetic Vehicles for the name and ditching the entire reason for the company's existence in the first place?

Re: Kinetic Vehicles molds and parts
I am sympathetic to the above questions. I designed a mid-engine "Seven" that specifies using the Kinetic catfish nose piece. I, too, wonder what's to become of that supply path, as in: Is it be outsourced, or being handed off for good?

Re: Kinetic Vehicles molds and parts
I am not stopping production or doing away with any of the molds or products. 
I have expanded Kinetic Vehicles beyond the locost parts, they are a small part of sales now.
If someone passionate about the Locost would like to take over the production of the Locost parts, I would be willing to work with them. My fiberglass guy is 2.5 hours away, getting time to drive there to drop off molds and pick up parts is a full day activity.

This confuses me because in your first post you say:

Re: Kinetic Vehicles molds and parts
I will sell them, not destroy or junk them. I will continue to make parts that people need. Nothing is changing. Maybe you could buy the molds and take over production?
There are some experts here that could do a much better job than I can.
Does that make sense?

Re: Kinetic Vehicles molds and parts
I'm confused as well. For $6,000, what does the buyer get? Does the buyer become your new supplier for locost parts? If the buyer gets the molds, can they create a webstore, and sell directly?
