It's supposed to mean New Old Stock... but too many ebay sellers don't seem to know what it means, only that it's good for getting bids.  I've seen plenty of obviously used items sold as "NOS", even some that say right in the description that they were just pulled from working machines.  "NOS" should only be used for parts that have never been used or installed.

I'm not sure they aren't being recast, and billed as NOS.
I saw some Tron sticks that were being sold with transparent blue triggers awhile back.

You might be on to something there.  There sure has been a glut of handles on ebay recently, both Tron blue and Satan's Hollow red.  Until recently, you never saw the red ones, but for the last couple months it seems like there's always a set of each for sale.

By the same seller, and one at a time.
If only one is for sale, the price goes up.

NOS isn't the only phrase that's abused. Mint, Near Mint, MIB, and RARE all get abused. It's only rare if there isn't 36 other auctions selling the exact same item, mint doesn't exist and a Block Buster sticker does not constitute NM status in any country. It'd be nice to flag sellers who tend to abuse those phrases.

Yep, I looked for a Satan's Hollow handle for years... finally found a NOS one in someone's basement that was a tossin while I was buying two cabs from them.  He didn't have change, I had hundreds, he asked if he could toss something for the extra $25... I saw the Satan's Hollow handle and pointed at it.  It wasn't with my finger either.
