I'll trade you some brand new ammo, only shot once in exchange for your new truck!

Absolutely. That gun is now a 95% gun or thereabouts.Originally Posted by alxone
You gave me a great price on some new skis.
My favorite is "as new." WTF does that even mean?

It means it's not as new as it once was but is still newer than it will be at some unspecified point in the future. Duh.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
Let me think.
New only applies to guns bought from an FFL that are factory fresh.
Any gun sold by a private party is used, end of discussion.
As New in Box is a used gun unfired by any owner in 100% condition, includes box and papers.
Like New in Box is a used gun in 99% condition, maybe fired a couple/few times and includes box and papers. More than 10 rounds makes it less than 99% in my view.
I judge most used guns by the NRA used gun standards. Box and papers adds a little value to new guns and alot of value to guns like 1950s Smith and Wesson revolvers.
What do you guys think of my definitions?
that clears it up! Seems like "as is" would suffice.

LANIB = Like ABSOLUTELY new in the box.
I have to say this isn't only occurring in the firearms world; I used to run Nitro powered R/C cars where these little race engine costs around 500 bucks. Guys would have headlines in their ads; "New O.S. Speed Engine". Then you'd read the text in the post and it would re-iterate "NEW", YET the person states 2 tanks of gas were run through it.
WTF? How is that new? In two tanks, you could have damaged that engine...
Anyways, I've got to agree with the original post, when did "New" start meaning something other than "New"?
Thats a smokin deal, I'll let my friend know! He's been looking for a new truck!
