What is NOS?
A. This is the acronym for “New Old Stock”. It is mainly a retailer’s term for any stocked item which is either A: out of production; B: discontinued from the current line of product; C: has been sitting on a stockroom or warehouse shelf for some time; or D: any combination of the above. The only constant here is that the product is unused. Actually, Unused Old Stock is a better term, but trying to say the word “UOS” proved to be too difficult!
