A real grey area this isn't it? Sam was trading his seat and not using the NOS buzzword to maximise profits though.

All my stuff is used. If it's sealed in the bag when it arrives, 5mins later is it fook NOS as it's on a bike

Had two show ponies since I got back into this daft hobby 13 years ago and I couldn't ride them as they had absolutely mint parts, especially the rims. They were never described as NOS when I split them and sold them - mint possibly, but nothing is NOS once it's out in the fresh air, end of

Does anyone else smell the packet when they open it to smell 80's air

Back to the original question....I was lucky enough to meet a private collector(he's not on any forums) this weekend.....
he had a lot of NOS items ( things in bags, packages, boxes..never used, never opened or mounted )...

If he has this kind of stuff then others must do to and sooner or later this stuff will find it's way onto the open market ?
Even in the short period I've been collecting (2 years) I've got some NOS parts in boxes/plastic packs never fitted or opened.....I'm sure everyone on here will have some of the same as it comes with the territory.

On some level there are still lots of NOS parts out there but they are increasingly becoming the less desirable parts/colours and makes.
