Some see POR as Pass Over Rapidly, or do not even bother. POR does have a purpose if used properly.
Often it is that the item may or may not still be for sale. I have seen several guns listed as POR that had been returned to owner after not selling at a dealer. The dealer still listed the gun as POR and would call the seller to see if it was still for sale. Does not cost the dealer anything to keep a picture up and if a buyer comes along he can sell the gun if it is still for sale. Often a seller will lower the price for a quick sale if he has overpriced it in the first place.
Same thing happens in high dollar real estate. Houses come on and off the market all the time and the asking price seems to be all over the spectrum. I looked at a house that was listed at 995K, then POR or "offers considered". Then it was said a realitor to have a 750K or later a 695K asking price. It was bought by a large company so the Exec who lived in it could relocate overseas and run a new division for them. They listed it for 800K, lowered it every month until it sold. Final price was just over 500K. A Dow 30 company can afford a 300K writer off much better that the Exec could.
