He hasn't got in touch at all, which is quite strange as he was battling for the item a few moments ago.

You did set your auction to "Post to UK only" so the phone wouldn't have shown up on any US search unless the ebayer actually manually tried to find phones outside the US, which given the somewhat common nature of the Motorola V3, not to mention the price difference and shipping costs, is of a dubious nature.

That, and it seems to be a user who hasn't used their account in 6 years and suddenly decides to buy a phone, from Britain, which is set to a UK only auction.... it all has a tinge of Scamola about it to me.

Don't contact him yet, wait to see if they contact you first. My Spidey Sense suggests he'll ask for Western Union, or escrow, or give you a direct link to a 'paypal' page. Just my cynical nature though.
