I had bid on this a few times and did not win the auction. I was third
place from the ending $2100 plus price. I now get a message saying my
one bid was acceptable (around $1600). Sounds strange. What do you guys
think? The pin is in Arkansa.
Thank you,

Ask when they will be home so you can pick it up with cash (even if you
cant/wont) and see what they say.

A lot of times other bidders pull out after the auction ends and they
offer it to the next highest bidder

This looks like a Second Chance SCAM! Don't reply to the email. Go to
the actual auction on ebay and ask the seller a question. Let him know
that you got this email. This is why a lot of people who sell bigger
$ items on EBAy use Private auction so scammers can't see the previous
bidders and what they bid.

I have gotten several of these scam offers. Once I bid $6,000 on a
nice lot of 1940s comic books and got scam second chance offers from 3
or 4 different places. There's hundreds of people making a living
scamming with second chance offers...Ebay needs to crack down on this.
