NOS = original parts that have never been sold nor used or installed. Typically they are still in the original box, or what's left of it. They come from old dealerships that have closed, parts warehouses of parts that stopped selling or sell very little volume, etc.
The alternative is called "aftermarket". That is where someone takes the original part or design and does their best (in some cases) to duplicate that part. If it is made properly it works. But, it is not the original NOS part from the manufacturer, it is a knock off, if you don't mind the term.
In a few cases, the aftermarket parts are better than the NOS ones, but you have to know what you are buying. There is some junk out there with big well known names attached to it. It seems that greed takes over in many cases. If they can get something made in China and it works long enough to get the sale, they send the biz to China. Not only is it not American made, it is junk in some cases, decent stuff in others.
By the way, I have yet to catch any of them lowering their prices to reflect the low ball prices they are getting from overseas. I wonder why they don't pass part of the savings along to their well respected and much needed customers?

That's been revised in the past few years. New Original Stock is used now , and is a more accurate description of the part.
