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, 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.

W=want
H=have
FS=for sale
FT=for trade
LE=Limited Edtion
MMS=my mom sucks

Most of it is common sense.
Except for when you see DE and you go in expecting dark eldar and you get dark elves instead.

Heh heh

Yeah, well... that's true.
Can you tell that I only play 40K? I didn't even think about dark elves.

icup

I think we all know what THAT one is.

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
