The three million vinyl records and 300.000 CD�s that were for sale on eBay, fetched a bid of 3.002.1250 $US. However, the highest bidder (an eBay member from Ireland) has no intention of paying, and admitted that his bid was fake.
According to him, someone else �stole� his password and placed a bid without him knowing. It�s not clear yet if the Irish bidder will be prosecuted for not living up to his �contract� with the seller.
The owner Paul Mawhinney is disappointed, but has good hopes that eventually a buyer will turn up. The collection contains thousands of original records, including the 5 Sun Vinyl singles of Elvis, and is estimated at 50 million dollar.
