Well, at least your game enough to ask the question!
NOS stands for New Old Stock - in other words (in the true meaning of
the acronym), the part(s) are still in genuine wrapping complete with
Part # and have never been opened or at least fitted to a vehicle.
Usually, though not in every case, the item is NLA from OEM. (Don't
you just love acronyms!!!)
(No Longer Available from Original Equipment Manufacturer)
I remain amazed as to the quantities of NOS items on Ebay, some of
which I have purchased for my '65 re-build.
There are some other acronyms used on Ebay which elude me as well.
NR is used often, is that No Return or what?
It is the biggest trap of all when communicating with people that you
assume have the same knowledge as yourself, and that is to spray
acronyms around.
Most people are too embarrased to say Whoa! what does CRAP stand
for???
(Correctly Received And Processed)
Or FIGJAM (F(*% I'm Good Just Ask Me)
ICGO (I Could Go On) but I won't.
I wish Craig and Elain well, I don't like to hear about anyone having
that sort of health problem.

Subject: OK, it's a joke...but
Some people just have a different sense of humor. I know I'll
probably get a
buch of replies saying "duh!", but I'm new to auctions, so...what does
"NOS"
stand for?
