Helpful terminology for the Buy/sell/trade forum

I propose that we invent some jargon to make life in the B/S/T forum easier.

Suggestion:- Some acronyms to make denoting Cd-wow bargains easier.

BD = Before Discount.
AD = After Discount.

We could have variations depending on the value of the discount.
Eg:-
AD3 = After discount of £3.

AD = After Discount.

LOL! And I always thought they meant Ano Domini.

BTW, what does WTD mean?

WTD=Wanted.
WTB=Wanted to buy.
ONO=Or near offer.

I've not heard of ONO before... nice, I'll see if I can use it.

It's commonly used in NZ and Aussie.

Ah, thanks Eva!

Good idea as long as we semi-agree on them first. It could otherwise get well out of hand with hundreds of stupid abbreviations.

Seriously? It's commonly used in Britain too or at least certainly English. It's a really old one, long before the Internet. My parents taught me it, ask yours.

I've always used ONO on Trade forums. Although it's actually: Or Nearest Offer

Ah I would like to thank Brad and Eva for the explanations ONO.
