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

[cfmtr3a at verizon.net]

Tim - did the email have your eBay user name as part of the inquiry?  
If in doubt, go back to the original listing and contact seller via the 'ask a question'.  I think it is still active after the auction has ended.

I'd be skeptical - and obviously you are as well since you asked the question.

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?
