    Sales corner abbreviations?

    So my impending full access to sales corner is near, can someone help me explain the few abbreviations I don’t quite understand yet. I know it will seem blindingly obvious to some.
    So I know :
    OHPF is on hold pending funds
    FS is for sale.
    WTB is want to buy.
    What does OTFS mean? And any others people can tell me I haven’t mentioned please?
    Thanks

    It's a pretty stupid abbreviation to use, though, as Eddie has explicitly said that Sales Corner is for the sale of any item, not just watches, so it's impossible to be Off Topic.

    Occasionally it means Old Trousers For Sale. More often than not actually

    Serves a purpose though, or maybe we should use NWFS (non-watch FS).

    Anything to do with 'sales corner' just ask jimp.

    It means "I've made a ridiculously low offer" and is almost invariably followed by the seller posting "Still available".
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    "Usual Swirlies", means it's been used as a hockey puck on a gravelled drive.

    "Final reduction" means anything but - there will be many more.

    And anything being sold by Ally was bought for £1.5k less the week before...

    Bump - this watch is hanging about like a bad smell
    GLWTS - over-priced/only a noob would touch that!
    Dealer - Stealer
    OHPF - let's try scarcity marketing
    Reduced - I'll take a loss just to get shot of this
    Full set - I've been on Aliexpress
    Circumstances forces sale - flipping
    Catch and release - watch blows chunks
    Just not bonding - watch blows chunks
    Sorry for poor photos - suspect its fake

    C U Next Tuesday means the sellers reputation may not survive a weekend of intense scrutiny so expect a relisting soon after the start of the week .

    Think it comes from Japanese Wabi-sabi though it does mean what you suggest.
