This is something I've pondered many times as I come across things I'm selling that are vintage, but have never even been removed from their packaging. When entering my latest find on the spreadsheet, I started to put "Vintage NIB" at the end, but felt weird about it. While I have found several listings for this one item, I haven't found any that have never been used or even removed from their package. So, if it's not kosher to use "Vintage NIB", what would be the best way to describe it in the title and description? "New old stock" doesn't sound right to me either (already thought of that) -- maybe "Vintage New Old Stock"? Still sounds weird. LOL Thanks! P.S. -- I know I'm asking a lot of questions, lately, but I've gotta get these products out of my hair and I can't box them up until I get them researched, photographed, and documented. LOL So, I do appreciate everyone's help.

Some people go with New Old stock..as something that was never opened (or never sold)
For your spreadsheet, you can have anything you want if it is just for your reference, but for listing, I would put condition: Unopened, original packaging with date or approximate date if you have it
You can list it as New, or collectible depending on what it is
Truthfully, on a personal level, I feel uncomfortable and actually do not bother even looking at listings like that. I feel that it is somewhat miss representative, especially if the date is less than 30-40 years old..sorry, I just don't consider it that vintage

I don't claim anything less than 20 years old to be vintage...not even if it's 19.5 years old. LOL I can explain in more detail in the description that it's pre-owned, but never even removed from the package. I was just looking for something short to put in the title to show that it's vintage, but not used. They're brass Christmas candle holders (a pair of deer) that were given to me back in the early 90s, but I don't like using taper candles, so I never even took them out of the box. They've just been getting shifted from one storage box to another over the years and it's long passed the time to get rid of them. LOL I guess I could just say "Vintage Unused" or "Vintage Unopened" -- short, sweet and to the point.
