It was mentioned earlier that it is not a good idea and
against eBay policy to contact bidders even after the auction is
over and offer them a better deal that what *they missed*. 

Here is a good example:  A realist bag just sold in eBay at $137.

I had the same bag for sale in sell-3d.  Here is the posting:

No one showed any interest at $45 (lack of picture might be a factor
here), yet someone just paid $137 for THE SAME THING!  Is it a bad
idea to contact the person who missed it at $135 and offer THE
SAME THING for $45?
