Quite recently i've put three bids on records from three different sellers, and incredibly although I did'nt win I was offered a second chance offer at the final price, three times i've been told that the winner failed to complete the deal, is this a case of getting your mate to put in a high bid then pull out of the deal at the end of it?, hope this makes sense

It could well be Lenny

It happened to me this week for the 1st time, (but not with records) My theory is that they could be trying to tease a few extra quid out of you but if you don't increase your bid, they come back to you for your original offer? Is this what you mean? - regards Ade

I've had some really good records by 'second chance' but they've always been offered at what 'my bid' was.

Hi Lenny

Recently I lost a record. Two days latter I got this message in my ebay message board.

"Hi,

You recently bid on a Rain 45 I had for sale, I have just listed another copy - 4840664632 . Though it may interest you.

Cheers

ginola"

Think this may be just a case of extra copies.

You can only do a second chance for the value someone bid on.

Winning bid $100

Runner up $95 (Second Chance Offer)

Then the second chance can only be for $95 so I guess if you are happy with your original bid then take it.

I quite often offer second chance if I have additional copy/ies
