Question

First, before I ask my question, I would like to share a find that I made today. I was making a deposit at work today and I found a $1 Silver Certificate. It has been through the wringer, but a fun find, none the less.

So, this has happened to me twice in the past month with two different sellers, both with feedback of 500 or less. I bid on a coin, lose the auction and receive a second chance offer less than an hour later. To me, it seems like the seller or a friend bid up the price and then offered it to the second highest bidder (me) at their maximum bid. Has this happened to anyone else? I have received second chance offers, but 3-5 days later once the seller has exhausted trying to get the winner to pay.
