You win some, you loose some. The worst thing about ebay is people bid at the last minute, I set this auction at a low starting price i.e. 1 pound. Next time, I will forget about getting a bidding frenzy going, I will have a buy it now price and/or a high starting bid. Instead of getting 20+ low bids, I will get 1 or 2 bids but for a more realistic price.
You are going to regret selling that A600, mark my words!
Anyway your biggest mistake was selling it only to the EU as there are already lots of them over there. Consider that I paid more (well, almost) for a bare A600 (although in a mint condition - never opened) on ebay, and the shipping from the UK did cost a lot, however I think it was well worth it all things considered.
Secondly you should not have sold it with a monitor - those are mostly worthless today as one can get a scandoubler and use any old (or even new) VGA monitor. You could have sold it separately for £5-10.
And it's not the buy-it-now that would have made the difference with such an auction IMHO.
