Thanks!

NOS: New Old Stock: usually referring to something no longer available, more specifically discontinued, no longer in production

NIB: New In Box: could be currently available item, or limited edition but current item

NIP: New In Package: same as NIB

Unused: what it says, not saying it's new, it's not packaged, but appears to have never been used

Lots of variables and such here. What does New mean? In some corners, if it was purchased by an end user, it's no longer considered New. NOS would have to come from a mfr/wholesaler/retailer. Others are more generous with their interpretation.

It's easy to claim an Unused item is NOS, but without original packaging it's hard to be sure the item is actually new.

Amongst the Geek Tribe, whatever their object of desire, the siren call of NOS/NIB is like catnip. Eyes widen, pluses race, alertness spikes, eyeballs dart, head motions become frantic...

NOS/NIB generally commands a premium over simply NOS. Some who are actually going to use an item don't want to pay a premium for original packaging---you can't use the item when it's still in the package. Others will pay a steep premium for NIB/NIP. That's why a simply very clean, apparently unused Campagnolo Super Record rear derailleur might sell for $200, while you can expect to pay $350+ for NIB one.

Paul Brodek, neither NOS nor NIB
