NOS is a disease that can be terminal to your bank account and we should pity the sufferers. ;D

I suppose the NOS tank is cool if you're building a 100 point concourse show bike and money is no object but for a poor boy like me the same model tank shown below will do me for $102. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and it's as straight as an arrow bar one tiny ding that'll easily fix. I also picked up the B44 Victor tank (also below) for $128 in the same week as someone paid $450 for a shiny one. Same story as the B50 item, under the crap rattle can paint it's only got a couple of tiny dents and it's absolutely bog free. Both tanks will be de-dinged, polished, stickered up and nobody will know the difference from the big money ones.

Well done Firko.  You have obviously been rewarded for your perseverance and research.  It's a great feeling when you jag things like that.  8)  That tank is crazy money, but I suppose they aren't making them anymore.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

It always depends on who you are bidding against ..... if Tom White or Tom Cruise or even Craig Taylor  is doing a minter NOS B50MX there is not much left over for us little guys.

I have a buddy who just got a shit rebuild on TT500 tank that paid as much finally as the NOS BSA tank so it can make sense I guess.

NOS anything desirable has a pretty much name your own price factor ..... I know of NOS XY Falcon bonnet spring that just went for $500
