Not defending the "second chance" bidder, as he should have done things differently, BUT as a seller, you need to be aware that the second chance bidder may suspect shilling (ie. the seller or someone on his behalf pushes the bidding as high as it will go, wins, and the seller's whole intent is then to approach the second chance bidder with a story about the top bidder bailing out...which was the plan all along).
All I'm saying is that second chance bidders have a lot of possible concerns between possible shilling, scam contacts, etc.
