I hate it when this happens.

For quite awhile I've been on the hunt for a 61 cent pcgs pr68cam to complete a set for my wife, and happen upon this auction.
16 coins in all for $435 at the buy-it-now. Two things; first I don't need the other 15, and second, if I make that deal I'm in the dog house.
I know that I could resell the others, but I just don't want to hassle with it right now.

If this lot doesn't sell, would it be considered unethical if I were to write the seller after the auction end and offer to purchase the single Lincoln?

Why would that be unethical? You're not preventing anyone from purchasing the whole lot if they want and the seller can always say no..

It isn't unethical to offer.I would.

The same thing happened to me, except they were 19th century type coins. What I did was wait until the auction was over and then contacted the high bidder and asked if he wanted to sell. To my slight surprise, he said yes. We made a deal, I sent him the money and I received the coin. It was an 1843 half dime in PCGS MS-63. He sold it at 20% BACK of grey sheet bid.
