What Does "BN" Mean?

Disclaimer: Contains affiliate links (Learn more)

"Brand new."

In the context of item condition, "BN" means "brand new". The item is new and unopened, but doesn't have any kind of retail packaging that would allow it to be classed as "BNIB", "BNIP" or "BNWT". In some cases, the retail barcode may even be printed directly onto the item.
