Missed a huge bargain? Or a dog?

Bargain for sure.

I'm probably being thick, but how can you tell it was ended early? I read it as the winning bid being £67?

If it was sold for £67, its an absolute bargain. The DiMarzios and the Schaller bridge are worth more than that!

I'd emailed the seller twice for details, which he provided promptly. I decide it was worth a punt, if only for all the bits. It think it was due to end later today, but it's been pulled. Shame - I was getting quite excited. I've emailed the seller this morning to see what's happening.

It says at the top "This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold" in the orangie yellow bar.

So it does! Clearly it was me being thick!

He made the bass and then simply ceased to exist??

It is possible... unless you believe in the chance of an after life.

I wonder what happened to his atoms??? will there be a quantum irregularity due to this???

And if that bass did go for 67 squid... what a BARGAIN!

I don't think it would have been £67. It's ended because the item has been sold - so the offer to buy (which would have been for more than £67) was made through That Ebay and accepted through That Ebay. Er, I think.

PS. If the auction had gone through to completion, the orange bit would have said "Bidding has ended on this item".
