I'd be surprised if most don't already know of this, but I thought I'd mention it "just in case".
I've bid on some avionics recently, none of which I've won (someone always seems to bid more than I can buy it for brand new from Stark's). However, in ALL cases after the auctions would close, I was subsequently contacted by someone pretending to be the original seller who said I could have the item as a "second chance" bidder.
Also, in all cases, I knew right away that it was a fraud, but I would have my own brand of fun pretending to be interested. I even got one of them to send me a photo of them stepping off "their" aircraft.
Anyway, be aware that if you bid on something on Ebay and don't win it, and are then contacted by the supposed seller offering to sell it to you anyway, know that it's just a scammer.
