Can anyone tell me what the "NR" at the end of the auction title means:

No Returns or Non refundable would be my guess.  If its original shrinkwrap the seller would be wise to have a policy that was either if opened.

I sold It does have a return policy.

RETURN POLICY:
Your satisfaction is important to us. iSold It strives to accurately list and photograph every item we list for sale so that bidders can buy with confidence! Therefore, we only accept returns if the item was not as described in the auction. All items are sold As Is.

If the item was not as described in the auction and you would like to return the item, you must initiate the return within 3 days of receiving the item. To do this, contact us at service.in034@i-soldit.com. Buyer will be responsible for return shipping charges.




My guess is that the NR = No Reserve price for this listing.

Meaning it sells for what it sells for.

I was thinking about that but had brain lock on the "R" part and figured maybe it was a shrinkwrap thing.

No Reserve *slaps his forehead*  I stand corrected on my guess.  :D

I use that acronym in my listings to mean "no reserve" since some bidders don't like to bid on auctions with a reserve.

If anything like some sellers I've dealt with, then it should stand for No Remorse...

No Resellers is my favorite. ;)

Or, maybe Nonchalant Regurgitations. Or, oooh, yeah, maybe it is Never Read!

That was a popular thing to put in the title in the earlier ebay days. That way, you knew right off you were bidding on a .99 auction and not on a .99 auction with a reserve (not nearly as much fun).
