Is there a list somewhere of the acronyms that are used in the For Sale forum?

How about a compromise? You go through and find them. You post a list. We'll decode them for you.

Most common off the top of my head:

FS = for sale
FT/WTT = for trade/want to trade
CONUS: continental US
LNIB = like new in box
TTT/Bump- to the top

GLWS = Good Luck With Sale
MDP = Magic Drain Pipe = Canon 80-200 2.8 (it seems like anytime I see one for sale, that acronym is used to describe it)

We are only allowed to "Bump" a post once every 24 hours. A sale item can get lost 2-3 pages back in 24 hours. By posting "Bump" (Or anything) to your post it puts it back on top of the list.

See post #3. It is just a way of getting your listing to the top of the sale page. Some folks really over do this.
