Subject: [CR]Possible Weigle Second Chance scam

I was the second highest bidder on this Weigle bike a couple of days ago:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

I've now received two eBay Second Chance offers on this bike. One was pretty transparently a scam, as the contact email was maximlove2100@yahoo.com. The other wasn't obvious, except that the the message did not show up in My Messages in My EBay as a legitimate message sent through eBay normally should. I emailed the seller to ask if he had in fact issue a Second Chance on this bike, but haven't received an answer yet. Is the high bidder on the list? If so, perhaps he can confirm that he has completed the purchase and that the Second Chance is therefore definitely a scam.

Meantime, just in case the Second Chance is legit, anybody care to offer an opinion as to whether a thousand dollars is a good price on this bike?
