NOS......really??

<< < (2/4) > >>

I haven't sold too many parts to be honest, but when I do I usually state it was bought nos, but fixed to a show bike.  If the part isn't nos just say minty condition, but I guess using nos allows a few more £££s to be added.  Even if it is twisting the truth a little :):):)

I also have nos parts, that are genuinely new old stock, but have a little shelf wear by a decade or two stored out the back  by bike shops.

I remember going to an OS sale at Alans  quite a few years ago and he had NOS DC MX1000 calipers at £200 a set. They came with no packaging but still regarded as new old stock.
Don't talk to me about 'Minty"!  My arse,it's Mint. Scuffed seats with repop decals described as mint is just one instance where I bought a 'minty' item. Never again.  :yahoo_silent:

I hate stuff in bags ..I have to take it out and use it for the purpose it was intended  :daumenhoch:

Back in 1985, MX1000's and 900's were shipped out of Japan to Europe and the US in boxes of 50. None of them had their own packaging, and were just single calipers.

As for shelf wear, I have bought NOS items with shelf wear, but if you know what to look for, you can always tell if something has been used or fitted. Always ask for lots of pictures, and confirm that the item shown is the item you are getting, if you are unsure.

My personal favourite is - "Only taken out of packaging for pictures"  ;D

Even in the bag items can be removed and replaced after bein g fitted.

pickle:
I agree guys but my question was one of surely there can't be that many proper NOS items out there now?

used can be used for anything, everything was once  :LolLolLolLol:
