Re: NOS, was Re: text too BIG?

[Dave Cullen]

What is it with this guy? All of his auctions, identified by Chris Witt, 
say the same thing. NOS means only one thing: New Olds Stock, new GM parts 
in the original GM box from the shelf of a GM dealer that were never sold 
and are left over from inventory at the GM dealer, PERIOD. NOS will be 
original GM parts, which will be show quality. What is this guy getting 
at?

I've bought NOS parts from dealers that were banged up and scratched from 
being tossed around shelves for so many years. I've also bought NOS chrome 
emblems for my Olds (again, from a dealer) that were faded to the point that 
I didn't want them. When dealers go out of business their inventories often 
get passed around and stored in garages, basements, trailers etc until they 
get sold on eBay or swap meets. New stuff in original packaging can get beat 
up from handling. It's still NOS.
