I am not sure but I believe HA has this feature but I assume it only goes through the website? Could be dead wrong, I'm not certain.
But who's checking the website on their 5 year old auction winnings for offers? Not many people I would bet. And if it's heritage staff relaying messages themselves then that's even worse. But nearly everyone is checking their emails.
As somebody who is a single player collector I have scowered easily 100 auction houses for rare, unique and one of a kind items. Many I have found I would love to reach out and make an offer. But none give the option.
If you read this and own an auction house, please add this feature.

Lucas,
Are you thinking of the Heritage feature that allows registered members to go on their site and view past auctions, and then make offers to past auction winners? I know that during the height of the pandemic's card price surge I got a few offers at close to double what I had paid for items I had won in prior Heritage auctions. The email offers came through Heritage and allowed you to accept or decline each specific offer, or opt out of ever receiving any such offers at all. There was no cost to the auction winner receiving the offer, if I remember correctly, but I assume they weren't doing it for free and were charging people making the offers some type of buyer's premium if an offer was accepted.
