For a newbie some of the abbreviations used can be a litte perplexing, especially for old gits like myself who aren't as sharp as they once were!😵‍💫
I would probably get there in time but wondering if some kind soul could fill the gaps? Apologies if this topic has already been covered but I couldn't find anything. Addition of any others would be much appreciated.

Sorted:
FS. for sale. 😀
OH on hold.
BNIB brand new in box
WTB want to buy
WTT want to trade
NOS new old sock

?
OHPF
FSOT
RMSD
WDSE
WTD

Many thanks

so remain to explain

WDSE and WTD ...😀
Well, searching these abbreviations in OF show they have only been used in this thread by you and the OP, so I’m not sure where/how the OP has seen them used. I’ve never seen these two before.

WTD I have seen stand for what to do.
But I don't see how that applies here.
But knowing that WDSE has never been used here, then perhaps these are just abbreviations in general, not specific to this forum.

Apologies if I've caused confusion. Since starting collecting have been reading both OF and MWR and trying to get to know the abbreviations used on both. Have just been told by a MWR member that WTD Is 'want to deal', which I guess is much the same as 'want to trade'.
BTW (by the way) the new old sock was a typo, honest.😀🤨
