Would you class this as new or NOS?

Crazy thing is that’s I’ve got one fitted to another bike which has never been ridden. It’s immaculate. And the rarer chubby size too.

But now I need another one for this next build.

I got it from CRC in about 2005 for £10 ! Wish I’d got more
 
On a downhill bike with riser bars these stems will rarely suffer direct impact damage and being so short they also have more protection. Regardless of condition, I think knackered threads are always a risk with these.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but not a good companion!
 
Some people are just ripping the piss out it though with the over the top pricing. 85 plus has the cheek to ask postage for what looks like a used stem.
 
This was my question and his reply.

Think I’m going to give this stem a miss. His feedback is terrible so no doubt it’ll not be as described.
