Abbreviations

I've never seen it abbreviated before, but now that it's on the running list, you should, just to mess with others.... ;)

Though I play too, Frank's really the one who owns the phrase. But, to give credit where credit's due, I believe it was Litos who first posted it as an acronym. At least IIRC...
 
What about "price drop"? Wouldn't that mean the individual drops the price from the original listed? Or am I a boot and should shut my trash mouth? Lol
 
Interesting. Cuz a lot of sellers on this forum say that but they keep the price the same. Sneaky cats! I thought maybe I missed something there.

They usually edit the original post... So unless you were taking notes you won't always notice the price drop ...

And I doubt people say 'price drop' without actually dropping the price ... If they did it we'd definitely start catching on!
