It was about £100 with a minute to go & thought I might buy it for under £200, but sold for £720 /about $1400

The other one I missed out on was an EOS*DCS-1 which sold for £236 (nearly $500). It was sort of misleading as it was titled EOS-1D, with a Kodak digital back.

A very fine kit, indeed. With all the lenses and everything. Wow.

But £720!?

The last two bidders were obviously very keen to get it, raising the price from £333 to £700 and finally £720.

Would be interesting to know how many of these were made. All I know is that the RC-701 and RC-760 were much more common than Nikon's extremely rare QV-1000C kit.

I asked Canon Japan how many RC-701 and 760's were made/sold. Didn't expect to get a reply, but I did! Well done Canon, even if the answer wasn't very informative (no surprises there):
