Wouldn't it be a good idea to get a sticky informing people of the comon abbreviations used in here...
Like what's OOP ?
there are alot of others that are used, so I thought I'd mention a list should be compiled.

Well..
Well, Raven the majority of things you'll see here are the typical abbreviations you'd see used on ebay or in most game circles.
Most, you'll pick up from seeing the ad, then reading it ("Oh. So, THAT's what that means!").
For example
DE Dark Eldar
DH Daemon Hunters
OK Ogre Kingdoms (Heh heh heh Ogre Kingoms are OK!)
CSM Chaos Space Marines
WH Warhammer
WHF Warhammer Fantasy
WH40K Duh.
Anyway... list the abbreviations you're looking at and we'll see what we can do for you.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

FS = For Sale
Wtd = Wanted
MIB = Mint Condition - in Box/Blister
ITL = Internet Trading List ( original name of the reference system )
Ref = Reference
- Good: Everything went as planned.
- Neutral: Oopsie, something broke which probably shouldn't have, they shipped their stuff late, no biggie, you'd trade with them again.
- Bad: They ripped you off bigtime, no matter what, you wouldn't trade with this person again.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions ( read these first before posting ).
Someone make a huuuge list of everything they can think of and I'll post it as a sticky at the top.
Thanks,
TrademasterAdam
