what is obo? or best offer? sounds good

suprra_girl · 01-03-2006, 09:39 AM

yea i've been wondering that "obo"
yea i guessed it was that

we use "ono" here "or near offer"

mrnickleye · 01-05-2006, 02:24 AM

as in "Yoko Ono"?? hee hee.

what is fwiw ?

Here in U.S. they always put OBO on cars for sale. Its obsolete as far as I'm concerned. Everyone wants to talk you down in price, even when the seller says "firm" sale price.

j3pz · 01-05-2006, 04:33 AM

fwiw=for what its worth

suprra_girl · 01-05-2006, 06:22 AM
