Might as well see what this wrinkle brings...
I love the term “beater”. It speaks to me.

Anticipating a shorter thread. That probably says something about society.

A good write up in plain English and not salesman fluff. A lot less catchphrases and hyperbole.

I still like the term 'rounded corners'. To me it always meant the possibility of a cool card at a reasonable price.

My personal favorite is "paying strong."
Usually when I hear that, they ARE NOT the strongest payer...lol...good one though.

Your cart is empty but it doesn't have to be.
On second thought I should put that in the other thread.

Here's a few:
"Your offer has been accepted"
"You won! Pay now to receive..."
"ORDER SHIPPED"

New pickup.
“You are the current high bidder.”
Yes and for me that is usually followed closely by "You have been outbid. Follow the link to bid again."

"Happy Birthday! Here's a free pre-war card." :D
Happy Birthday could be replaced with a holiday ("Merry Christmas!") or really any type of celebration.
Disclaimer: I don't know if I've ever heard this term.
