    Default Yank needs translation

    I need a little help translating from Oz to Yank.
    I see prices for items offered for sale listed such as $100.00 ono.
    In the US it is common to list as $100.00 obo. The 'obo' stands for 'or best offer'. But I am stumped as to what the 'ono' means.
    Help!!!

    Don't worry Rifleman, we find some of your words and expressions confusing too.
