 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!
 Will we ever know?
