Olympic torch relay: £150K eBay bid 'a hoax'

Quote:
An internet auction bid of more than £150,000 for an Olympic torch was a hoax, the seller has said.
Cornwall torchbearer Sophia Cowburn put the torch on sale on eBay to raise funds for the Invictus Trust charity. It attracted a top bid of £150,400.
Ms Cowburn, 19, said: "The bidding closed and then a few moments after we found out it was a hoax bidder."
The auction attracted 226 bids but the winning buyer has not been contactable for comment.
