What does NIB mean?

[kmas]

It says "NIB 100 rounds "

NIB = New In Box

hopefully your seller did not mean "Newly In Box" whereby he newly placed old ammo from his dirty, humid dustbin into a box

[langss]

I knew this girl that had a "N I B" tramp stamp. I just thought it meant not in back.

Nooooooooo...it means NOW In Back.....

The "100" means something like 1,000 or more rounds down the pipe.

NIB=seller asking full market value.
Once it leaves the lot it's use, just an old man opinion.

[audiction]

the seller forgot the letter L...should be LNIB

Factories don't shoot 100 rounds.

Wilson Combat comes close. 70 to 80 test rounds from the factory.

In collectors world NIB could mean : A factory new firearm, without any damage, properly stored, unfired since factory and never sold retail. OR. The same , except was sold retail and simply put away. For example , I have a new in the box G19 Gen2 that I bought new and just left it in the safe. It is indeed a NEW gun that was sold retail. A handgun that WAS test fired by the manufacturer and then cleaned and shipped is still new in the box .

Heavily used. Your about to be scammed.

There's a current listing with that description

.... I want that test casing fired by "Fred Gunfirer".

Not required anymore - another .gov program that everyone but the state could see would be useless and fail.
After NIB I go to the % scale - 100% used gun but perfect

NIB (New in Box) should mean a brand new unfired gun that has never been DROSed. I usually put "purchased new and never used/shot" instead of NIB.

The seller might have meant "Not in Box" instead of "New in Box."

This brings up a pet peeve of mine about people posting "never used" when selling something. This happens a lot on eBay. The person will post an item and claim it has "never been used," or "I never used it." They will usually include a blurry picture. When you win the auction and get the part, you can clearly see it is very worn. When questioning the seller, they claim they bought it that way and never used it.

NIB to me should mean unfired and it includes the original case and all the swag it comes with, even the NRA and safety brochures, just the way it would have been when you pick it from the store. The original receipt would be a bonus. Anything less is LNIB



Yup, especially for certain firearms from companies like Larue, Krebs, Tanfoglio etc. Those cases can sometimes be quite fancy:

So that's where all the extra money goes.

N.I.B. was a song by Black Sabbath in the 70's.

Did someone mention Sabbath?
