Other should we have a sub group here

This sounds more reasonable and it could be a drop down option like the location prefix. You have to choose an option before the thread is created.

NOS in the title works well. It seems easier to look in one place for parts rather than searching a separate sub-forum. I voted no.

ouch, polls and community input is how we have done the forums for more than a decade.

This is something we will look at. Years ago vb didn't have multi prefix. They
may now. I see you are local. Howdy

Vote for Gearhead Gourmet if you want to see a new forum. We all gotta eat you know!

I have a question. Why do we still call it New Old Stock when it should be New Old Parts. When I bought the N.O.S. I sold it was parts I bought from stock... meaning at the Chevy dealership parts dept. THAT was New Old Stock. Now it's not from stock, it's many hands since for the most part.

Also, when I was at Carlisle a week or so ago I kept overhearing guys saying N O S and it made me think, "Why do they say it like that?". I mean, it's an abbreviation, right? Well, New Old Stock is three single syllables same as N O S. It's just as easy to say the words as the letters. I think about a lot of stuff

As I understand your rant, they were saying nos, not N O S.

I would never buy nos parts, although I have bought lots of New Old Stock parts. Now I view them as New Old Parts, thanks to your observation that they are not stock since they have been handled by hands other than GM employees.

Funny how one deep thinker can change your view on things.

Sorry I didn't address the cuisine thing, but I am still deep in thought about the NOS issue.

Getting back on topic...

A related question that I think would help answer the OP's question would be the following:
Which of the following groups describes your use of the parts board?
A) more than 85% of purchases/sales are NOS parts
B) more than 85% of purchases/sales are used parts
C) None of the above.

I would guess that at least 75% of people fall into groups A or B. Therefore, I would think there would be less "clutter" to sort out if the NOS parts were separated.

The board ain't broke, but it could be improved with a subgroup IMO. It would be better exposure for all sellers, and likewise buyers are more likely to see the parts they are looking for.

Searching prices would also be a bit easier, as used and NOS parts would be separated....arguably a small benefit, but a benefit nonetheless.

I'll support whatever is decided, but I definitely favor the subgroup.

[a1vintage69]

A simple no is good enough for me!

[special-K]

I don't see N.O.S. parts getting cluttered. I see them on the first page. Every N.O.S. thread has that in the title from what I see. So searching the parts forum using N.O.S. with the part name should take you to.

Not the parts boards, but in general I've been thinking it might be time to start thinking about condensing this website from what it has expanded to.

In my last post I meant people saying the three single syllable letters instead of the three single syllable words. I understand abbreviating when writing but not when speaking. It would be the same for New Old Parts

[RogerKoop]

I vote NO. To may people sell new parts as NOS.

On one hand I understand if you put one item per ad and it sells pretty quick it gets dropped from the front page pretty quick and it is easier for the seller to keep track of the order of interest, but if the same person has 20 items separately all the sudden half the page is dedicated to just one person.

On the other hand if you put all 20 items in one ad it keeps The main page neater and makes it so those interested in buying from you all in the same ad and it is relatively easy to update the ads with sold as you go. It also allows other members that don't post as much for sale to have better chance at having their ads noticed as well. what i mean is, a lot of times when I am scrolling thru the buy ads and it is loaded with one seller posting individual ads, another person might be placing an ad that gets put in somewhere along the middle of the 10 or 20 singles ads and I find myself totally overlooking it for some reason until the ads get mixed up a day or two later and by that time quite often it has already been sold. Not whining at all just trying to give a different perspective is all.

Being somewhat down with a double hernia tends to make the mind wander which makes you questions things even if there may actually be nothing wrong with the current way it is being done, hence the reason for the poll. Obviously by discussion so far there seems to be quite differing opinions. If not for the other thread I probably would not have even posted anything but since it happened ....What the heck

I don't know if there is a right or wrong way since both have pros and cons that is why I brought it up for discussion. Sorry for the long post.

This is why I voted yes, I have pissed parts because of it.

I also voted No, just wondering what you are saying. People are selling repro parts as NOS?

Okay, I voted NO. It's hard enough to get members here to follow the rules and post in the proper sections the way it is.

I'd rather see the energy used to enforce the current rules. I see Premium Members posting many NOS parts, or entire trucks being parted out. It's obvious they are not selling left overs from their project. Also, WIW threads in the sales area and long time members answering their questions instead of referring them back to the Subscribe link. <rant over>

I'm sorry, you haven't been here long enough to even begin to know the number of parts you will miss here. If you think having a sub board will ease your pain? Think about looking through the newly created NOS area and you miss out on buddy buckets being sold in the regular sales board for $200. DOH!!!

[countr]

I voted yes. As a person that does a lot of buying and selling of NOS , A sub group would be helpful. Thanks Russ

[countr]

N.O.S. guys and gals, are we all done?

[bill3rail]

As for me, I am NOT searching for NOS, however I can see how it would help those that are looking for NOS.

I'll vote for it to assist you who only want NOS.

Bill

[countr]

Thanks Bill, you are correct on your assessment.

Wouldn't just help nos people. There are probably more people interested in only used parts than there are people interested in NOS parts.

Correct, many of our members are O.E.M. only. And this would be an aid for them as well as N.O.S. members chance to see the original parts and N.O.S in there own group. Thanks Russ

I am glad this is just a pole and not an actual vote for another sub forum. Owners still get final decision.
