well, can anyone explain me please what is all the words in the forum such like:
b/o, c/o and there are more like these.
can you post them with the meaning ?
thanks in advanced

Fury Incarnate · Jan 09, 2008, 03:08 PM // 15:08

WTS - Want to sell

WTB - Want to buy

C/o - Current offer (The highest bid someone has offered for an item so far. Also sometimes used to mean the starting price on the item)

S/b - Starting bid (The opening price on an auction; the lowest bid one can make.)

B/o - Best offer (Generally, item sales happen over a time period, from hours to 2 weeks or more. The b/o price is the price at which the seller will declare the auction to be over and sell the item to the b/o bidder, regardless of whether the auction has ended. Also, it is, at least in theory, the highest bid; if you offer the b/o value on an item for sale, no one should outbid you on it.)

PC - Price check (A person asking for others' opinions on the value of an item they have or are looking for.)

I have to go take a test... But post if you find more acronyms you want explained.

Bring
Up
My
Post

Use it when your post fall off the 1st or whatever page. Read sticky before bump. 24 hrs rule apply.

odedkeren · Jan 09, 2008, 03:46 PM // 15:46

so bump means that you wana close the post? that it isnt relevant anymore?

Etta · Jan 09, 2008, 03:48 PM // 15:48

No, it means you want people to notice your post. So you bring it up again to catch their attention.

odedkeren · Jan 09, 2008, 04:11 PM // 16:11

thank you all very much,
i cant say BUMP to this post

Snograt · Jan 09, 2008, 05:02 PM // 17:02

To expand on BUMP a bit, any new post on a thread brings that thread to the top of the list on the first page of that forum, thus making it more noticeable.

It is generally only used in the Ventari's forum, i.e. Buy/Sell/Pricecheck, and there are VERY strict rules on bumping. You may bump your own thread ONCE per every 24 hours, NOT daily. The mods take a very dim view of early bumping due to exploitation.

Oh, and another thing. "Bring Up My Post" is a fairly recent backronym - bump really just means "bump to the top".
