[TR] ebay question: off topic, sort-of

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Hi all;
 
I was bidding on a Triumph on ebay a couple of weeks ago. The car didn't  
meet reserve and I wasn't the highest bidder anyway. I have now received an  
e-mail, I think from the vendor, suggesting a "second chance offer" for the 
car.  The e-mail, which appears to be an ebay generated one but from the 
vendor's  email address, states that the vendor is reconsidering my offer and 
asks me to  get in touch if I have the funds and am still interested.
 
I often see ebay listings that say "no second chance offers". Not knowing  
what a "second chance offer" is all about, I got the impression this might 
be  some sort of scam. Can anyone enlighten me?
