NIB stands for New in box, a classified ad abbreviation also used in business.

Describes an item that is unused and still in its original packaging, a key condition code in marketplace and collector listings.

Example: Stand mixer NIB, never opened, unwanted wedding gift, $180 firm.

Usage notes

Related codes include NIP (new in package), BNIB (brand new in box, common in the UK) and LNIB (like new in box) for items opened but barely used. Collectors distinguish NIB from NRFB (never removed from box), which promises the item was never taken out at all.
