Often times we see initals used in Ebay titles and descriptions when describing Vintage TOYS and DOLLS. This is what they mean:
MIB: 'Mint in the Box' means this item is in MINT condition and in its original box. NIB: 'New in the Box' means the item looks the way it did when it came from the factory, and more than likely never played with. NRFB: 'Never Removed From the Box' means the item has never been taken out of the orignal box, thus never handled. NOS: 'New Old Stock' generally refers to a 'lot' or 'bulk' items that have been discovered tucked away from an old store or business. Generally these items are in their original packaging which generally has 'shelf dust,' but the actual item has been protected.
Hopefully this has shed some light on some of the 'mystery' ititals used on Ebay and other sites. If this has been helpful, please vote YES. Thank you.
