Can we just agree on what NOS means please!

Refurbished with soapy water bucket...thats another favourite of mine...😂

Not sure what to call the "refurbishing " many of us do then.?

Is a bit like being re virginised?
 
Restored reconditioned refurbished reconstructed pristine perfect momentarily mounted not turned a wheel never ridden assembled………..


Not NOS

NEW.

Ends.
 
A lot of sellers do seem to think it means Nasty Old Sh!te though!
Can be with or without packaging, just not mounted or used. The only exception I think to that would be a full bike that was built BITD, is still "new" and unused. As a bike it is NOS, but unbolt the parts and they are no longer NOS, because they have been mounted and unmounted. They'd be unused, but not NOS....
That's not the same as taking a lot of NOS parts, frame, etc. and building a bike today from all NOS parts. That bike would be new and unused, but not NOS any more....
 
It’s like as soon as you open a new car door once you bought it, it just thirds the price.

As soon as you bolt a NOS part onto a bike, it halves, thirds, the price.

But I think eBay sellers should look up what nos means rather than seeing it as a +money word
