PM means Private Message (sent via the board's message system).
PM sent
For location, if you click on someone's name, a dropdown will appear, and 2nd option on the left hand side is called "Private Message." That's where you can send it.

Thanks for the help and the test PM's. Now I should be able to send one.
Its just a nice way to be able to communicate with the sender directly, without having to go through the regular posting. Just replying by a regular post leaves a chance of the message being overlooked.
Besides making offers to buy, PMing is just a good way to communicate off board.
also: writing "PM sent", is not a requirement in the actual sale thread. I thought it was standard protocol at first, but it is not at all. I still write it, if only to keep the sales thread hoppin' & why not.
Some of the funnier things I've read on B & B have been riffs on "PM sent".

We would prefer that members not post that- it serves no purpose.
Thus ends "PM sent".
For me anyways. Seems like a pesky little thing to get rid of though (it's in sales threads up to many years ago).

It means the Prime Minister is on his way over.

A "PM sent" in a sales post not only serves no purpose, it tends to kill interest in the sale item. It makes one think that item is sold when only the seller determines that.
PM stands for Pound of Money. If you require further expanation, send me a PM.
Personally I like using the "report button" rather than PM
