Sales corner abbreviations?

[Derivative]

Off Topic For Sale (i.e it's not a watch).

It's a pretty stupid abbreviation to use, though, as Eddie has explicitly said that Sales Corner is for the sale of any item, not just watches, so it's impossible to be Off Topic.

Thanks to the OP for asking the question - I’d been wondering the same thing - and thanks for this answer.
I agree it’s a redundant abbreviation, which means I would never have guessed that was it.

"Final reduction" means anything but - there will be many more.

And anything being sold by Ally was bought for £1.5k less the week before...

Ally would never do that would he?

Really!!!

Going to dealer tomorrow = dealer is giving me 800 less than I have it offered for here. No chance he is getting it.

This is a rare watch = common enough watch and I am over pricing it. This is usually accompanied with comments from people (who have the same watch) saying it a steal all in the vain hope their watch is appreciating rapidly (see every railmaster thread ever).

Same as 'Bargain Alert'.

"Last bump before eBay"

"Look, you lot. I'm warning you! If you don't buy it I'll flog it to that den of thieves and vagabonds and you'll never see it again".

OR

"I'm going to keep bumping this, but I'll delete the previous bump every time so it doesn't look as though I'm desperate to get rid of this piece of junk"

WTD = I always assume it means “want to donate” but I’m invariably disappointed when I open the thread.

Haha, I’m glad this thread has brought a few smiles.
Keep the funnies coming please

“Homage” = Shameless copy of a more popular brand/model.

You should also know that redux apparently has a special meaning when used in Sales Corner quite different from its dictionary definition.

BNWT and NOS = brand new with tags and new old stock - I believe.

Thanks again all, some good ones

So it’s not “Want To Die”

Excellent. MMS - Made me smile.

Did you have to. Oh no. Ahhhhhhhh. I’m sitting comfortably with my popcorn. Let the onslaught begin. 😜😜

Ally would never do that would he?

Have a look in the TZ-UK Glossary...?

Nice one.. didn't know this

[thegreatdogwood]

What do you think it's worth? = a post from someone trying to sell something but does not have enough posts to access sales corner
Now I've got this out of the safe I've decided to keep it = this sales post is not going well

And my favourite is always "this is a funds raising exercise but will consider the following watches as trades" - normally followed by a list of more expensive watches. That's an example of an oxymoron

BNWT - Brand New With tags (bought with no intention of wearing in the hope of making a profit).
