German dealers sometimes mention "OVP" in the item title on ebay.

What does it mean? Is it something like CIB - Complete In Box?

Once I remember someone retracting the the bid, because the seller "clarified" to the bidder that it's "just OVP", meaning the seller was only selling the box.(??)

Any real clarification will be fruitful. Thanks!

Originalverpackung - On Ebay it can be either 'in original packaging' or 'in unopened original packaging'.

(I think Ebay doesn't allow selling package only)

Damn...my german wasn't so rusty as I thought 😁

Thanks for the infos!

I have seen some guys selling only the game box, and at another time only the box for a radeon graphics card. The title says "Original Box" or "Retail Large Box", but when reading the description, they add the word only, at the end of the repeat of the title. And they are not cheap too!

(Sounds like Kate Winslet saying ...(paint me)"Only With"...(the pendant)... 😁)
