I see people using b/o and c/o as "start bid",

I figured they meant best offer, and current offer, which would be the same thing anyway. There has to have already been an offer in order to have a best or current one, right? How should these abbreviations be used correctly in your opinion?

b/o where new bidders start to bid for it, c/o the current offers on it? Idk, it's fine the way it is.

@IceAurorus These terms confused the hell out of me when i started playing PRO. They're supposed to function like you describe but it actually works like what @Tolley said.

 

I use them now as it is in PRO. I even getting accused of setting up fake bid over "b/o usage", I know it's b/o = 'Best Offer' but in PRO people already used it as 'Start Offer'. So, I also just going along with it. :Bored:

 

In other game b/o is also termed as buyout which mean 'Insta Price'.

These are the most common shortcuts used in Trade:

 

WTS - Want to sell

WTB - Want to buy

WTT - Want to trade

BO - Best offer

CO - Current offer

Insta - Instant price

LF(M) - Looking for (more)

That's what confused me when I first started playing PRO. I've always known b/o as "for this price I'll sell it instantly." The rest of them I already understood though.
