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.

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.

Re: Just Ranting
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!
