Can we just agree on what NOS means please!

[Woz]

I agree with the Wikipedia definition, I think the issue we’ve got here is how it is being misused not what it actually means.

I then looked at see also which includes “mint” condition……..think we’ll need another thread for that.

So what @MattiThundrrr posted earlier is: NOS BNIB MIP NRFB ..... but it's still OOT (Old Obsolete Tat).

Where's the original box and manuals?

"Beware of Seller".

"Beware of cellar".

I would too, I think that where the Stocks came from...

@MuchAlohaNui read your above pasted quote carefully. I refurbished it!

They were left on a buffet table at a reenactment of the South East Midlands Inquisition. Stocks weren't needed as Barry the bar steward spilt the beans halfway through the tarring and feathering. Nobodies seen him since.

Note the accusatory female in background who was later committed after being found in possession of absolutely no mental capacity whatsoever and subsequently pronounced hysterical.

NOS is very subjective and is whatever the seller wants it to be.
NIB (new in box) is another favourite but my absolute best is one of my own, NOB (new out box).
