Is GLWS (good luck with sale) the ODT way of saying "Bless your heart. You actually think you'll sell for that much."

Bless your heart...
No, I don't think so, but I can imagine it would depend on how it was used. When I say GLWS on an ad, I really mean it and it gives the OP a free bump on their posting.
IIRC in discussion of do's and dont's in the rules here a GLWS by itself is frowned upon. In order for it to pass muster with the hierarchy, it seems like some other addition like, "nice - GLWS" is necessary.....
Found it in the rules and guidelines.....the specific phrase, "GLWS" and smileys are not allowed by themselves, they must be accompanied by a comment or question that is allowed under the rules."
Is that to keep spamming comments down? What about bumping your own posts by just putting "bump"?
I only cited what that particular discussion about it in the rules and guidelines; I've seen it violated countless times here with no removals so your guess is as good as mine...
I conclude GLWS or Good Luck With the Sale on many posts as I mean it sincerely and not sarcastically. There are tons of trades and deals that would be of interest to me if they were within a reasonable drive. The best of deals seem to be in the North GA Mountains, South GA almost in Florida or almost in South Carolina. Your mileage may vary 
If I have additional information or experience with a specific item listed, I try to add that information to the thread and provide a bump for the person selling.
If someone lists an item for more than I believe it is worth, then I simply continue to scroll to the next post. If the item does not sell within a few weeks, I may PM the seller to let them know I would be interested in the item at a specific price point. Some do not respond, some respond with a polite no thanks, but in some cases I have worked out a sale, purchase or trade.

Well no... but, thats what the good deal button has morphed into. Ain't paying 1k for a stock glock unless it was glock 18 registered before May 19, 1986. Then you can have my left nut.
