eBay Jargon

[LeoZwalf]

Evening all

My dad has become quite an eBay nut recently, and is completly bamboozled by a few of the terms found there. We've tried looking on Google but to no avail.

There's so many people on here, I figured at least one or two of you might be able to shed some light on the following abbrevs...

BNIB
BNWT
BNWOT
and finally, BN

We guess the BN stands for "Brand new", but what about the rest?

Thanks in advance
LZ

I'm guessing...

Thats N20, Nitrous Oxide

NOS is a manufacturer of Nitrous Oxide induction kits, but I think NOS is becoming the generic name for anything to do with Nitrous Oxide. A bit like Hoover is with vacume cleaners
