If you wanted something so shiny get something that's chromed  ::)

all parts from a survivor he bought 3 months ago if you check his feedback , relisted at a mental price twice and failed to sell it...hence it was split , everything then appeared on ebay as NOS when in fact it has all been touched up or simply polished .

The dude never says "NOS", or even "New Old Stock", he just says New Old School ..... which is still wrong cos its not at all "new". I guess he doesnt know what "NOS" is usually meant to mean .... or what "New" means. :crazy2:

Maybe he should list his stuff as "COS" - "Clean Old School"  ;D

Dear 9605deans,

Who said anything about chrome?  What I'm saying is, that clamp is not NOS.  It has been polished.  They did not come from the manufacturer polished like the one you have listed.

Dear 9605deans,

Just so you know, thats not NOS,  it's been polished.  They were never sold that way.

O.k recieved my refund now so all good!I purchased what i thought was a set of nos HARO freestyle bars off the fella for a horrendous price,but i thought,o.k my frame is nos,i have only the one bike i'll treat myself.I even took my old bars off and put them up for sale.What i actually recieved was a set of used,but very poorly rechromed bars with a peeling decal,and 2 small dints in the crossbar.They looked 10/10 in the pic which im not actually sure was the same bars as the HARO stamp in the pic was v.prominent but on the ones i recieved i could barely see it.On looking down each bar end there was rust,and a bit more than just surface,could also hear bits rattling around inside!!!to say i was fooked off was an understatement so i contacted seller and explained my disappointmentment and requesting a refund,he came back with the following-very sorry u not happy with them,i thought they were new but had been in storage some time.that is no problem returning them and i will give you a full refund when they return.He recieved the bars today and sent me this message-recieved the bars today,but i need to get my £25 fees back,shall i go through ebay resolution or refundyou 25 less??WTF????I returned the message with-mate,what i paid for the bars is what i expect back in my paypal account.You are responsible for the loss in fees as you did not describe the item properly.I think you will find ebay resolution will tell you the same.Next time do not describe the bars as new and you should not have the same problem!!anyway i finally got my full money back but as you can see from the above,i wouldnt be hurrying to buy anything off him again! :Aresehole:
