So again, by your admitted subjective definition, nothing is NOS and your life got much easier.
What's the problem?
The thing is, it's not subjective. That USED to be the definition of NOS that everyone went by. And then some grifters decided to change it. Apparently, you don't see a problem calling stuff NOS when it's banged up and crappy, but some people with integrity still do. If you take good pictures and describe stuff accurately, it's no issue, but many people take pictures to hide flaws and don't describe things accurately hoping that they can get away with it because returning stuff is a pain.
