What the hell does NOS stand for?!

[BikesINPortlandOREGON]

Like my friends POS car.

It could also stand for Never Order (a new) Saracen.

BITD at my LBS, i wouldn't have had a clue what NOS meant. :roll:

 

[hairstream]

...careful with those descriptions. New Old Stock, Shop soiled etc!

...and the ever-so euphemistic "bin marks."

 

[Anthony]

On eBay, it often means fitted, used, but not very often, then removed and put back in box, not many scratches.

Thank god for this thread...

What does NIB, IMHO and BITD means?

NIB = new in box
IMHO = in my humble opinion
BITD = back in the day

 

[BarneyRubble]

I can see where this is going, someone will surely ask "what does GSOH and WLTM mean?"

 

[dyna-ti]

No Ones Sure :?

Plus, if the seller also includes W/E and AC/DC, the rear shock he's talking about probably isn't for a bike...........


I've learnt a startling but valuable lesson that way............ :shock:
