Tim
i have used second chance offer with ebay. both as a seller and a buyer.
but as always if its a lot of money, proceed cautiously. don't give out bank
account etc and only pay with paypal.
be safe

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

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?
