eBay Code | What it abbreviates | What it means |
MIB | Mint In Box | The item is in the original box, in great shape, and just the way you'd expect to find it in a store. |
MIMB | Mint In Mint Box | The box has never been opened and looks like it just left the factory. |
MOC | Mint On Card | The item is mounted on its original display card, attached with the original fastenings, in store-new condition. |
NRFB | Never Removed From Box | Just what it says, as in "bought but never opened." |
COA | Certificate Of Authenicity | Documentation that vouches for the genuineness of an item, such as an autograph or painting. |
OEM | Original Equipment Manufacture | You're selling the item and all the equipment that originally came with it, but you don't have the original box, owner's manual, or instructions. |
OOAK | One Of A Kind | You are selling the only one in existence! |
NR | No Reserve Price | You can set a reserve price when you begin your auction. If bids don't meet the reserve, you don't have to sell. Many buyers are leery of reserve prices because they're after a more obvious bargain. If you're not listing a reserve price for your item, let bidders know. |
NWT | New With Tags | An item, possibly apparel, is in new condition with the tags from the manufacturer still affixed. |
HTF, OOP | Hard To Find, Out Of Print | Out of print, only a few ever made, or people grabbed up all there were. (HTF doesn't mean you spent a week looking for it in the attic.) |

eBay helps you here because their site details every past listing (by category), along with the sale price. You can look back and see the trend on the prices, but it can take a little time. In the top right hand corner of the eBay site you’ll see the word “advanced.” Click this, and it takes you to a search page where you can search for specific items. Put in the keywords of the item you’re looking for, and make sure you select “Completed Listings.” You’ll see what the items have sold for in the past, to help you understand the market, and the margins you can make on every item.
