WTF does NOS mean? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 05-31-2004, 10:38 AM

Some people just don't get it. This moron on Ebay advertises a dash pad as "NOS" and "mint" so I get all excited. Then I read the ad copy...

Why did people try to lie about what they have? Who wants to go to Milwaukee and beat some sense in to this guy?

I agree with ya Ken! It bugs the heck out of me too. I sent him an e-mail wit the defination of NOS...lets see if he writes back.

**N2TRUX** · 05-31-2004, 12:21 PM

I started to send him an email myself. I was so annoyed that it wasn't "really" a nos maroon dash pad that I thought I better wait....

bigblock73 · 05-31-2004, 01:28 PM

Here is his reply...

"i know what nos means, it is to get people to look! It got you to look.
Thanks,
jesse"

I see his point, but it is still annoying somewhat.

**N2TRUX** · 05-31-2004, 02:15 PM

My response would be- Yeah, I looked. Now I want to come kick your @ss for being a liar....

ebay's auctions should have a viewer comment section at the bottom of each auction.. Their old school feedback thing just isnt enough... If enough people saw this and left feedback for unsuspecting bidders, maybe people would change their ways. I mean of course it would have to be moderated to some extent, but it could prove to be really really useful... Im sure theres some rule against mis-advertising, especially blatant examples like this, be it in the subject or the main-body of the auction or not.

Yeah i see that kinda stuff all the time they will put all kinds of crap in the headline that doesnt pertain to the item whatesoever. Just to get people to look.

**N2TRUX** · 06-01-2004, 12:10 AM

I guess he got a few emails about it-
FOR ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE MAD I PUT IN THE TITLE THAT IT WAS MINT NOS, IT WAS JUST TO GET YOU TO LOOK! WELL IT DID! I KNOW WHAT NOS IS AND WHAT MINT IS! PLEASE READ THE DISCRIPTION! THIS PART IS VERY CLEAN AND THE CRACK IS ABOUT 1/2 OF A INCH LONG BETWEEN THE SPEAKER HOLES! IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR A PERSON THAT WANTS A NEAR MINT DASH PAD WITHOUT SPENDING 250.00 THANKS FOR LOOKING! PLEASE DONT EMAIL ME WITH ANY MORE STUPID REMARKS!

75-K5 · 06-01-2004, 01:08 AM

Maybe you should email again and tell him he spelled description wrong :p

LOHRTBT · 06-01-2004, 11:02 AM

Lol!!! STOP EMAILING ME!! hahaah
We should all send him one

PHOENIX · 06-01-2004, 11:37 AM

I sent him an email just to piss him off.
I hate people who do that.
We should all send him an email like Dave said, he has to go through them if he wants to sell his stuff.
Maybe he will not do it again if he gets a lot of people shooting him emails.

bigblock73 · 06-01-2004, 11:45 AM

I dare all of you to send him a e-mail.

That would be too funny. Serves him right though, see if he ever does that again.

LOHRTBT · 06-01-2004, 12:29 PM

I double dog dare you lol!!!

**swervin ervin** · 06-01-2004, 01:02 PM

I sent him one early this morning. I asked him since he new what the meaning of NOS was, did he also know what the meaning of LIAR was. I couldn't stand it. I had to do it.

bigblock73 · 06-01-2004, 01:16 PM

Here is his title...

73 to 78 chevy truck dash pad gmc NOS mint WOW GREAT
Chevrolet suburban blazer New 73 74 75 76 77 78 1978

It isn't "mint" (has a crack)...it isn't "new" (he stated it was used)...and we already know it isn't "NOS".

I better refine my e-bay search as well, wouldn't want to miss out on all the stuff that has "WOW" & "GREAT" in the description.

PHOENIX · 06-01-2004, 01:44 PM

In my email I also included:
"I sent a complaint to ebay about your selling method."

He replid with a simple "Thanks!"

**Captkaos** · 06-01-2004, 05:51 PM

This is apparently his site. http://www.findyourcarsparts.com/ I think we all need to go there and request a NOS MINT Dash for a 73-78.

73_K5_girlie · 06-01-2004, 06:02 PM

comew to think of it, I think a NOS dash would be pretty cool on my 73! especially if it's mint! lmfao

PHOENIX · 06-01-2004, 06:12 PM

I looked at some of his other auctions.
The 82-92 camaro lights say mint, yet they have a chunk missing. hahhahahah

Check it out here

He also has an auction for:
"1969 chevrolet Impala dash pad caprice NOS wow MINT 69"
Yet it also has a crack and is used.
Look at the close up picture in THIS LINK

This guy is something else.
