LOL, if only that were the case. :) Signature<*><*><*><*><*><*><*> Hartwin Kuldilith Season 55 Dwarf Cleric, Firiona Vie ] On Fri, 28 May 2004 14:56:35 +0200 in ] <hhdeb095mr4sm8fhgn4fojdlg3dpkji9ue@4ax.com>, Melduhr ] <Melduhr@t-online.de> graced the world with this thought: ] > ] >Obo= ] "I know I say or best offer, but what I really mean is that I won't ] take a cent less than I asked for.

It could be far less than what you want. JimP.

I have never, ever, not once in five f.cking years, actually seen someone let something go for the best offer, even if it was nearly what their original asking price was. They'll auction and auction and auction, always saying OBO... the next day they'll be right back trying to sell the same thing. Try this... the next fifty people you see who use OBO in an auction, offer them close to what they're asking. Not too close, you have to be fair, but close enough. I'll wager that out of fifty people, maybe one will bite. You don't have to buy any of this stuff, just make the offer. >Subject: Re: Need some help with abbreviations >From: bizbee tuberoo@earthlink.net >Date: 5/28/2004 10:42 AM Eastern Standard Time >Message-id: <TdItc.13578$Tn6.11556@newsread1.news.pas.earthlink.net> >>Obo= >"I know I say or best offer, but what I really mean is that I won't >take a cent less than I asked for. Doesn't 'or best offer' mean you'll >offer me more than I'm asking?" Omg I wish it meant that! LOL We're trying to sell our house right now and we need to clear 7 grand from the sale. We still owe 3.5 so we're asking for 12 o.b.o. because we're willing to go down as far as 10.5. I would love to have someone offer 15 or more! hehe And yes, the house is what you would call a bit of a fixer upper... =P Joolz On 28 May 2004 20:27:41 GMT in <20040528162741.07806.00000075@mb-m06.aol.com>, drmclaney@aol.comnospam (Joolz) graced the world with this thought: >>Subject: Re: Need some help with abbreviations >>From: bizbee tuberoo@earthlink.net [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Joolz damn, around here, people <fight> over houses for sale. Ask $650K, you're liable to sell it for $775K! Needless to say, put a house up for sale, it's gone in a week. Ok, while we're on the subject, how about: gtg A word of explination. In my guild, and perhaps across most of the Drinal server, this was accepted as "Good To Go" (or "ready", "bring it on" etc). After some time playing, I noticed that a number of people were interpreting this as "(I have) Got To Go" instead, and occassionally pickup groups would wish me well on my way just as I was getting settled in for the next fight. Now that I'm playing CoH (oh jeeze.. he mentioned that other game here), it seems that more people are interpreting "gtg" in the latter sense, so I got to wondering which is more prevalant. Obviously there is no "right" or "wrong", per say, but I was curious as to how the sides were split... I always took it as good to go.. > Ok, while we're on the subject, how about: > gtg [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > to wondering which is more prevalant.

As in, "Hey, I gtg bbl kk?" (LOL) Only when I started playing EQ did I realize that people were using it as "good to go" and several times I was caught saying "Aw, okies, we'll cya later" to which the person would reply "/boggle". ;) Joolz HMMM I always thought it was "group to go" > Ok, while we're on the subject, how about: > gtg [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > to wondering which is more prevalant.

Obviously there is no "right" or > "wrong", per say, but I was curious as to how the sides were split... Culture wars. In "team" games, it was "good to go". On IRC (and later ICQ, etc.), where "good to go" would have been a odd thing to say, it was obviously "got to go". Just depends on whether you're a chatter or a gamer. =) > Ok, while we're on the subject, how about: > gtg [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > to wondering which is more prevalant. Obviously there is no "right" or > "wrong", per say, but I was curious as to how the sides were split... "Good to Go" for me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Foxeye Vaeltaja Journeywoman Character Portrait Artist http://www.foxeye-art.com Foxeye 4 Kinetic/Psychic Magic Defender Bluejay 6 Invulnerability/Energy Natural Tanker Usenet 2 Fire/Fire Technology Blaster Always took it as good to go, and most people I group with in Theris-Thule use it as good to go. I have seen a few use it for go to go, but they usually type that out or something to that effect. >Ok, while we're on the subject, how about: >gtg [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >to wondering which is more prevalant.
