[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 710750, member: 18157"]My initial impression is that this is a reasonable seller and probably has (as others have said) multiple items for sale. [B]However[/B], it's good for you to question Second Chance Offers. I've had many cases (in the 30-40 range) where I've been outbid on a seemingly unique item only to receive a Second Chance Offer at my highest bid amount. If the price still seems fair and I really want the item, I may go ahead and accept the Second Chance Offer. If it's an item I can do without but would consider at a lower price, I look to see what the winning price would have been had the winning bidder not bid. I then counter with (what I believe to be) the fair auction price. I've only had my counter offer accepted twice. In every case, I'm polite and respectful. I have to assume each seller is behaving ethically, but I hope this approach discourages any possible unethical behavior should that be the case.[/QUOTE]
