[Neckroz]

ive been going through the classifieds and seeing SPF in some posts? is that like another way to say SOLD? or what is its meaning and ourpose so i know for future referance

[KNIVEZS]

sold pending funds

[Silverthorn]

It means Sold Pending Funds.

It also means that people use way too many acronyms to save so little time. How hard is it to write "sold pending funds" for the newbies out there?

[patcou]

Aplicable when you want to ID items in a list that are no longer available but not yet gone.

Sold Pending FLAKER


for all those who have sold on ASC - you know this to be true.

There's a few more that might be useful

BNIB Brand New In Box (Never opened in sealed package)
NIB New In Box (I reserve this for things opened to look at but not used, eg wrapper has been removed and product has been oogled at but not used)
FS For Sale
WTS Want To Sell
WTB Want To Buy
FS/FT For Sale/For Trade
OBO Or Best Offer

These acronyms are standard across places like craigslist, the local classifieds, etc. NOTE: My definitions for NIB vs BNIB may be different than other peoples and others may define it as the same thing.

SPF means that someone has spoken for the item with the intention to buy it, and the seller is waiting to receive the funds, either through paypal or EMT or in person. The seller lists it as SPF so that others know it's no longer available. The item is considered sold pending payment. So when you see SPF, consider the item sold.
