There could be all kinds of reasons why.
You may get some conspiracy responses on here - agent selling to a friend etc.,etc., contact the vendor directly (don't - vendors don't like that)......
Best to just forget about it and move on.

Wondering is this kind of thing kosher since agent obviously didn't get the best price for the seller?

a place I'd been offering on went sale agreed literally hours after my most recent bid.
If you make a further bid now the agent is legally obliged to pass it on to the seller.V miffed but I've no comeback at this stage
As above, I made an offer end of one day, agent said she’d revert to another active bidder but never came back to me either way and was sale agreed with other bidder next day, even though I was prepared to go higher. When I queried she said she assumed I was out apparently b/c I’d expressed some frustration, and when I upped my bid again she said it was ‘too late.‘ Tempted to contact the seller but doubt it’d do any good at this point since agent has apparently decided it’s a done deal!Can you clarify exactly what happened and when?
What was the asking price?
So you phoned the estate agent and said "I will bid €200k"
How did he respond?

It's then up to the seller whether to accept or reject your revised bid.
The fact that a property is "sale agreed" is meaningless from a legal perspective.

Yes i think if you were to make another offer the EA legal must pass this onto vendor.
If the EA then indicates that your increased offer isnt accepted by vendor id try and understand exactly why. Depending onbthat id consider contacting vendor, what ya got to lose
I’d already made multiple straight cash offers and brought an architect to a second viewing,
Already did that and agent wouldn’t accept! Not Looking for reasons, just want to know if this kind of shenanigans of an agent deciding on to leave an active bidder out is kosher and if I’ve any comeback. Buyer unaware of any of this as agent won’t reopen offers.Why don't you just ring the agent and ask them what is happening?. And if you want the property and can afford a higher bid then the one on the table then make it. Anything else is just guesswork
I'm not aware of any law compelling agent to pass on all offers to vendor.
