You missed it, we agreed it means NASTY OLD SHIT.
Or was it only me who agreed that? So many voices in my head, I struggle to tell which are real.

For me, NOS means this: new, old stock. The item is still brand new, but sat on a shelf somewhere long enough to become old. Installed is no longer new, and thus is not NOS. I have a guy. He bought shop or two when they closed in the 90s. His stuff is definitely NOS.
This casette was NOS. I had him install it on the NOS wheel, instantly turning them into perfect condition but used
I didn't really have a point to make here, just showing off some of my nos stuff

Where’s the Nasty Old Shit Police when you need them to launch an investigation
Thoughts people?

Thoughts? As soon as I buy a tip bike, strip it and list the parts as nos, sack me.

As long as people will pay a premium for whatever they perceive to be NOS, there will be unscrupulous people making forgeries for profit. Just like there will be people like me who find these treasures and waste all that potential profit by using them on bikes

Haven’t you just cut & paste this from eBay’s extensive sellers guide to NOS tat and how to deceive your buyers?
