    Default NOS? Are you kidding me??

    This is a rant but I will not post names.
    I recently purchased two"NOS" from a guy in Italy. took over a month to get here and then when they do, obviously they were not the same razor in the pics. Plus one had been clearlyrepinedd at the front. Both horribly warped scales also. WTF??? Do people actually keep these and not send back? Immediatelyy sent an email to him (which I have not heard back from so now I have to be mean and start a ebay resolution). Just kills me that there are unscrupulous sellers out there. sad but true fact of life.
    thanks for the vent.

    Well, I am sorry to hear of that experience but perhaps you are doing everyone a favour by escalating it up to an ebay resolution. Although I am not sure what happens when you win one of these things....will the seller get a "black mark" against their name or anything like that?

    Sorry to hear. That term 'NOS' is being bandied about all too often of late. Hope the seller resolves!

    Yup it sucks but I'm sure it will work out in the end. I also agree NOS is being thrown around a bunch lately incorectly. People see $$ signs and don't care.

    It's really important that everyone realize NOS means never sold retail before, nothing more and nothing less. I know many think it means pristine and just like brand new and often times that is how it is but sometimes NOS mdse is in terrible shape. I see that a lot in watch collecting seeing watches that were never sold that were used as loaners in a shop and are terribly used and abused.

    I only buy from people that are within a short jaunt of busting their knee caps. It's the principle really... A man that behave honorably should recieve the same in return... A man who does not should also recieve the same. D

    NOS. Thought that it means: "New Old Stock". Wikipedia. Does EBay have their own listing of Abbreviations?
    Everything that I've read refers to NOS being New but out dated.
