Eh? I just looked and it's £235.....
I guess it's not going to beat the highest price achieved for one of the pictures now?
Robyn Cousins picture sold for £2499 !!!

Hello All!

I noticed it's now @ £250 with still another 2 hours to go, still time for it to climb higher

Hmmm... it seems to have been removed and no longer available to even see what the end result was...

Not bad eh????

It supposedly sold for £311 but then it was removed by Ebay and the auction was deemed null and void!
I dont know why this happened but I did notice that the winning bidder is no longer an Ebay member so maybe it was a problem with the bidder?

It's a real shame, if that is what has happened, I just hope the wildlife trust fund, will be able to receive their money through the next highest bidder.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Nope !
They sent me an email saying that as ebay removed the item, noone is obliged to pay for the item. However, the seller is free to list the item again so you may like to watch for future listings from them.

I have just emailed Les Bunce who I was communicating with about the drawing, so once I hear from him about exactly what happened (if, of course, he is allowed to say!) then I will post his reply on the board for all to read!!

Got the same mail. Can anyone tell me what "deemed null and void" means please?

my english is not THAT good.lol

It means "does not count"

So maybe the bidder in question was unable or unwilling to pay. I've never had any major probs with Ebay, but there are a few bogus people out there.

Wonder if it'll be re-listed?
