NOS......really??

<< < (3/4) > >>

factory pilot:
I've got to disagree .. Even a relatively low level collector like me had until very recently ... 20 items new and in boxes or packets not even for s a build but just sat there in the cupboard ..
I've usually used lots of NOS in packet stuff on my builds over the last 5-6years ...
I've been at collectors houses recently where you see lots of NOS stuff both in packets/ or really unused/never fitted condition so it is still out there I think Rob .. It's just people are bigger hoarders these days ..

If an item was on display it wouldn't have necessarily been in its packet .. like I've mentioned before in Alan's today you see everything from tyres,wheels,bars, grips, seats, pedals out on display without boxes or packaging. I'm sure it was more so BITD hence NOS items unbagged  :daumenhoch:

I don't think there is much truly nos stuff which is available for sale in any great amounts.....most of it in the hands of collectors/ hoarders  :-\

Why isnt this working:

I see so many people advertise stuff as NOS but can there really still be that much old stuff out there that's never been taken out of it original wrapping or fitted to a bike? All be it a show bike?

I guess you can argue what it really means but I've always gone with New Old Stock so the item should still be in its original wrapping and never fitted or used.

So surely on this basis there can't really be that much NOS stuff about??

Agreed, on that basis I think your probably right.

I've recently advertised some parts as N.O.S and always believed that as long as the part/parts hadn't been fitted they would be classed as N.O.S, regardless of having the packaging?

I suppose the way forward is to give clear concise descriptions. I'll do better from now on... :LolLolLolLol:

Si.... :)
