When I sold on eBay I probably had about 20 buyers change their mind after the auction. Not once did I have a 2nd chance buyer actually buy.
Often people get caught up in the bidding, and you lose that with the 2nd chance offer. I throw this out there because I had buyers who backed out say "just offer it to the 2nd highest bidder"- thinking that I would only be out the $5 between the 2 bids. Nope- it would often mean re-listing; which also shows other buyers that somebody either backed out, or that you have multiples of this item so there is less urgency.
