Just Ranting

Post by 69Ford »

I hate people selling stuff as NOS that don't know the difference NOS= "new old stock meaning the part is original manufacturer never installed part", OEM= "original equipment manufacturer meaning the part is not reproduction or after market an original part made by manufacturer", Remanufactured= "a part that has been rebuilt can be OEM but not NOS", Just seen a part on Ebay the guy is advertising an NOS part that is clearly marked with nice stickers from a remanufacturing plant "Not Ford" saying remanufactured and he wants NOS price. Don't get me started. :nono:

If he was going to rip somebody off, you'd think he'd be smart enough not to have that label in the photo! It's one thing to be a crook, it's entirely different to be a stupid crook. :doh:

So what is this part? Many sellers act like they don't know the difference, but they do. A good way to tell if it's NOS is the seller will "Accept Returns"
If a seller is being crooked, dishonest or just not telling the whole story, then they usually say "No Returns" "Sold as is"

Unfortunately there are a lot of idiots selling stuff on evil-bay and they most don't have a clue! :evil:
