Disclaimer: Contains affiliate links (Learn more)
"Brand new in package."
In the context of item condition, "BNIP" means "brand new in package". The packaging is usually some type of soft/hard plastic, which is a cost-efficient way for companies to package items that aren't very susceptible to impact damage. Overall, the item looks exactly as it would if found in a retail store, and has not been opened or used at all.
