Was he the only bidder? If not, did you try the second chance option
for
the next highest bidder?

No, there were many bidders.

I didn't know you could do a "second chance option" for the next-highest
bidder? Is there a time limit on doing that?

Just look at the list of who bid. Got stiffed by the high bidder? Go to
the next guy on the list and offer it to him for what he bid. It's cheaper
than relisting and saves time.



It would seem unlikely that the second highest bidder would still be
looking
for a transponder a month later,

The purchase should be consummated within a few days for something as cheap
as a transponder. When I sell stuff I better hear from you within 24 hours
and payment made within a few days, unless other arrangements are made. If
not then you get negative feedback and I move on.
