There will always be NOS stuff ,unless time is going to stand still .
Stuff you buy now and don't use and leave for years will be NOS :)
It'll never run out :daumenhoch:
Valid point but what about old school stuff from the 80's?

hunterdubber:
Well looked after parts will still be around and available for as long as we are all bothered or alive , that's for sure
, even when they aren't technically NOS , because you would say they will have been built eventually .
So you will always be able to build a bike with mint bits . :daumenhoch:
Show built MINT parts look the same as NOS, ,,,,,,,so does the NOS bit matter ? ???
Although I know there are many who just like parts in their bags and packaging like a shop :)
My Dad got hold of a Bonnet badge for his Beetle NOS still in wax paper wrapping and in the original small match box sized box ,
Over 53 years old item ,,,,, and he fitted it .
Had somebody owned it 20 years ago hoping to keep it NOS forever , who knows ::)
Badbaldie:
what is the real meaning of NOS ?.... in my book NOS is new, not fitted and ideally still in original pacakging ... thats the true meaning of NOS like the vw badge Chris mentions... to other NOS means its new, never been fitted. to others NOS means only fitted to a show bike and never actually ridden. then some jokers try and sell parts that 3/4 people have had on show bikes and try and sell them as NOS because NOS can fetch a high price :D.............. to answeryour question. how would you actually know when the last NOS piece of 70's/80's bmx is sold ? you wont.. simply because at any time some one can pop up with something for sale ........ in reallity the sale of NOS parts will just slow down .
Devilock:
It doesn't have to be packaged as you can have an item but lose/discard the packet/box.
If the sealed NOS parts are sold on & the new owners open & install it then there is the possibility for it to cease to exist...!! :D
Swivel:
Real meaning of NOS :D :D :D :D :D ;)
