<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sonoran Monsoon, post: 1814400, member: 44580&quot;]I run into the same thing from time to time on Ebay, and I always use a sniping program.&nbsp; Sellers bid the coin up to find out what the highest bid is, win the coin themselves, then send a second chance offer.&nbsp; They want to squeeze your top price out of you, and not leave anything on the table.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sniping may not prevent the problem, as the seller could also place a very high snipe and outbid everyone else (of course he may be subject to a sniping fee).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Unless it is a coin I can&#039;t live without (which never happens), I always<b> turn down the second chance offer</b>.&nbsp; It is my little way of making the strategy backfire for the seller.&nbsp; It forces them to go through the hassle of getting a refund through ebay from their straw buyer (or cancelling the transaction),&nbsp; then relisting the coin.&nbsp; I know it just requires only a few clicks for them, but if everyone starts turning down the second offers, then maybe they will abandon the strategy.&nbsp; Probably hopeful wishing on my part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
