‘NOS’ Ritchey WCS grips

[troje]

I’m after a pair of these and found these on the Bay. What’s NOS about these? They’ve clearly been cut, mounted and used. Is it that the seller still owns the original packaging?

I've just bought a pair of new ones from Wiggle for £10 (plus postage).

...What’s NOS about these?...

I recently discovered that some believe the definition of NOS is that the item has 'never been sold at retail'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_old_stock
"New old stock (NOS), refers to merchandise being offered for sale which was manufactured long ago but that has never been sold at retail..."

I would disagree with an NOS label if the item has any wear other than shelf wear.
