Ever see stuff for sale here in the classified's that makes you groan?

here's one:
NOS ball joint:

it's a chinese made 555 brand balljoint, the kind that CIP1 used to sell 5 years ago for about 19 bucks. i can think of a few things to call it but NOS isn't one of them.

here's another nugget from the same seller:

yeah, that's a giant let-down. if the photo matched the description it would be a good score. instead it's just a 68-70 front tin.

$18 is a bit steep, but then again... it's NOS.

herers an angle- crappy non-german parts have been around so long that they do technically qualify for New Old Stock status. perhaps Ev should create 2 NOS classified categories. one german, one chinese, etc..
