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

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?

Check your "My eBay" and see if the message is there as well. If it is and/or
the e-mail sent to you
has anything that specifically ID's you by your eBay ID or similar, chances
are it's legit.

I've gotten a couple of these "second chance offers" and all worked out well.
