Not sure how he is suppose to offer a second chance since no one bid on it? I contacted him after the auction was over and asked about the stand since no one bid on it. I just thought I would see what others would do in this situation.

Technically, (ie. ethically), he can only offer that stand to you as a "second chance" offer on ebay. EBay has rules against contacting the person outside of their network if the item doesn't sell. I'm just informing you so you can make an informed choice according to your standards. I think eBay installed the second chance option to alleviate that problem. Also, you'll have no coverage against fraudas far as eBay is concerned, and maybe paypal too. I don't THINK he's trying to pull a fast one but may not know what his obligations/options are, or may want to save as much on a sale as possible since it didn't get the response he hoped for. We've bought lots of stuff with the second chance option.
