2nd chance offer on the bay

Post by guppy »

So some guy just sent me a 2nd chance offer claiming that he has two of the same print. He has 200+ feedback and has sold quite a few obey prints. Can I trust them?

is there a photo in the original auction that shows the print number? if so, ask for a photo of the second print, and then check to see if the numbers are different.

- I don't see second chance offers as bad... unless there was crazy high bidding at the end... - but if you were willing to pay X amount when you placed your bid... why not take the item... ?

Just a little suspicious thats all it was less than an hour after the auction ended I got the 2nd chance offer. I asked him to send me the picture of the two items before I do it. The picture they posted are the same one for both auctions...

I think it is a pretty good deal considering I was about to pay a bit more a few weeks ago.
