Second Chance Offer situation

A very cheap item...I bid 1.00 but the bid remained at only a penny...next high bidder is 1.05 not long before the auction ends. Not even a day later I am getting a second chance offer because the buyer supposedly backed out. Did I get screwed here? Should I just not take it based soley on principal? Because if I got boned by the seller then screw him, I'll get the item somewhere else.

Edited to add that the seller has decent feedback too.

    It depends on if the item is worth $1 to you.

    Bu then I usually save my anxiety for decisions that are important. If someone needs to scam me for $1, then I figure they need the $1 more than I do. I would never miss it...

    LOL no, no anxiety...but I certainly dont like being messed with like that.

    I get your point on how much is that 1 dollar worth to you. In most cases I feel the same way...just dont like the feel of this one.

    Maybe the seller has 100's of the cards, and thinks you might want it. For $1 this a lot of time to worry about it.
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    I agree with Kingraider. The guy has a bunch of them for sure. Good luck and I hope you don't think about everything with such detail. Save some energy for the bigger ticket things!

    P.S. I don't advocate lying but I think you should have pretended it was a ten dollar or 100 dollar item.
