(1) It means "you millage may vary"
That's like saying, this will wrok for some, but not for others.

(2) I think that this might be the wrong forum for questions like this, maybe you should look over the rules again.

(3) Thanks for participating!

YMMV means "your money may vanish"...especially if you frequent this site.

monkiiboi: I guess no one welcomed you when you signed up. I'm sure you've been around lurking for much longer than that even but "welcome to AT"

Your sig should also have BB (Best Buy), CC (Credit Card or Circuit City, see context), OD (Office Depot, not overdose!), OM (Office Max), etc. I've seen threads go on and on with "OD" mentioned nearly 100 times before someone finally calls it Office Depot

Oh, and what about the bastardizations? Something like "CompUSSR" may need some explanation (I always have to drive for these deals, so other than the flyers ppl may not know of them). Worst Buy. Circuit Sh**ty. etc.

Since we are on the subject of acronyms, I could never figure out what "B & M" means. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks!

It's in his sig. "Brick and Mortar"

Means the physical store, not online or mail-order

For instance, the McDonald's Best Buy Bucks work for BB both online and @ B&M.

Magazines commonly refer to "Click 'n Mortar" meaning a store with combined operations (Order online, pickup @ B&M, return if unsatisfied at B&M)

Also: Welcome svt28! Edit the title, this is now a "coming out" (of lurking) thread

I always thought YMMV meant "Your Manager Must Verify." Thanks for the clear up!
