I get many of these 2nd. chance offers...they are made to look like they come out of eBay.

I am not sure how they are able to send me an email through eBay though...usually a bidder and a seller can only email each other through eBay when an auction is open and even after it closes...???...

I also do get legitmate 2nd. chance offers on items I have gone after and lost in bidding...

Usually the winning bidder has a zero rating...so I figured the seller was shill-bidding with a new account or a wife's account...especially if I see the winner has done the same with the same seller in the recent past...

I just ignore it...

Or just write..."nice try...you think I was born yesterday ? "
