But as the days followed a mystery over this online bid developed.
Jeremy Kinsey noted on 8th September he was "not sure what happened on the RV8 sale on eBay. One min was for sale and then it's sold showing a £1!"
Alan Rennie responded on 9th September saying "it's very odd as yesterday there was still 3 days to go - now bidding is closed with a bid of £1 and "no bids" when we could see yesterday there were a stream of bids. One can't help thinking that with an eBay name like "dodgyscam" the offer was a little odd."
Richard Withington concluded the thread on 10th September saying "it is most likely that the seller accepted an offer outside the eBay procedure and withdrew it from sale. I understand if this happens then eBbay marks it as 'sold' at a nominal price of £1. Selling through eBbay can be effective but also expensive so perhaps the seller has an offer he could not refuse - or of course it could all be a scam!
