seller ended the auction early, probably to do a side-deal / off-ebay with the high bidder. unlikely that the price was 381 euro . . . probably some big premium on top of that amount.

welcome to the world of ebay . . . the "Wild West", as we would say here in the US . . . you can't believe everything you see on ebay . . . much of the action is out of view / outside the rules.

also, welcome to our forum . . . a kinder, gentler place!!
