Post by: leehunt1 on June 28, 2012, 09:53 AM
Yes I stripped the red paint my self and did a nice job on it

This is his last message
And why do you learn to be accurate in your listing, the only this that NIS means in your listing is Nice Old Shite!

He can't even string a sentence together properly,  ;D

If you stripped the paint off it, touched it up, polished it, or even put it on a show bike, it's no longer NOS. IMO

no offence mate but it is incorrectly advertised
you have it listed as new old stock which it isnt as you have stripped it

Still isn't NOS though is it, NOS means NEW OLD SCHOOL, if its been tampered / restored with its just an old school part, not NOS like it says in your listing. The word NOS gets used too much nowadays and is too misleading. Sorry thought i'd mention it...  ;)

NOS...... Ffs Matt and Steve. It means "found sealed in a bag / packet in a shop basement after 30 years and will be battered when you take it out the packet or fookin lush". Either way theyv'e never been on a bike.

I love you NOS collecting muppets..... Buy it, clean it, ride it or restore it. Nuff said. :yahoo_silent:

Not that I need to defend myself...but...

Dear leehunt12,Hi, I take it you know that your SR stem has been refinished, probably a Red one going by the colour. They never came like that originally. Regards- db-sparky

Dear db-sparky,haha are you the BMX police lol, yes I'm fully aware as i did the refurbishment myselfIm sure you will agree it looks far better than the red!Thanks, Lee

Dear leehunt12,Not at all, it's just you do not mention the refurbishment and some unsuspecting buyer won't know.

Dear db-sparky,they will know exactly what they are buying as there is a picture of itplease go and harass someone elseThanks

Dear leehunt12,And why do you learn to be accurate in your listing, the only this that NIS means in your listing is Nice Old Shite!

I tell you what, I'll give you my address and you can tell me what an idiot I am to my face.  :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: db-sparky ??? WTF ?
Post by: stidds on June 28, 2012, 12:21 PM
You may not like it Lee but Sparky is right, the item is not NOS or mint, so ammend the listing to remove both of those words and then off you go and if you get the price you want then all is well.

What Sparky was doing is trying to stop someone 'not in the know' getting shafted on ebay thinking they are buying a NOS item when it is plain to see from us on here that it is not.

Post by: Juju on June 28, 2012, 07:44 PM
If it had still been red I might have been interested.

Anyone can "polish" off a good original finish Lee, it's finding NOS stuff in the hard to get colours that adds value. You effectively vandalised a part for no good reason. Why? 

Perhaps you could paint it back to NOS?

thought we were having a little laugh sorry

I don't see how a wrongly advertised auction on Ebay, then coming on here and calling a member an idiot is having a laugh. It reads like you were looking for some sympathy but got found out, it's backfired and now you're back tracking.

Can I take it that the stem was one purchased from Ebay member 'radb1ke', you gave it a little hand shuffle and stuck a nice price hike BIN on it to see if some unsuspecting person would buy it.

If you're old enough to use Ebay, grow up and take the criticism rather than running off to a forum like a child would to their mother.
