Scored what was described as a NOS white DC MX hinged clamp off ebay recently. When it arrived it was chipped and scuffed, so contacted the seller () who was an absolute cock-a-doodle-do and said it was NOS...when he bought it. Anyway, got nowhere with him with regards a refund, saying it was an accurate description...bollocks.

Anyway, contacted ebay, who after trying to explain what I had bought, and why the scuffs were so important, gave me a full paypal refund (seller isnt affected, but I got my monet back...and keep the clamp).

So my free clamp is now stripped, polished and on my Rebel...

and looking 'mint'

There was a huge debate over on the museum about NOS stuff recently.

Always comes up.

NOS stuff can be scratched and chipped. (aka shelf wear).

This must be pointed out in the listing though.

Was it?

This is the auction description...

"HERE WE HAVE A NEW DIA COMPE MX HINGED SEAT CLAMP. THIS IS NEW IN PACKET IN WHITE. THIS FITS ALL OLD SKOOL BIKES/FRAMES. PLEASE NOT THAT IT HAS A SLIGHT MARK ON IT WHICH THE PICTURE DOES NOT SHOW BUT APART FROM THAT A1."

Didnt state it was NOS, that was my assumption based on 'a new dia compe mx hinged', new in packet' and apart from that A1'.

From the description I think it was fair to expect a NOS (i.e. sealed in packet with tiny storage chips perhaps', but not scuffed and scratched, including a tip ex toucg up on one chip.

Buyers id was lktoday2007, id recommend you avoid. I left him negative feedback aswell.
