I always avoid NOS as I know as soon as I take it out of the box and ride it, its no more valuable than a lightly used alternative. I'm too thrifty to pay a 3X premium or more for NOS.
Now if I happen across some NOS parts at a sweet price, I'll buy them for sure! Then I resell them to help offset my crazy bike spending.
