Abbreviations

This may be a dumb question but I keep seeing these abbreviations on the marketplace newsgroup and I don't know what they mean:

WTB
NIB
DFW

Thanks!

Want To Buy
New In Box
???
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
