Why the Error in Price Given for a Sold Item

I have a question about the sold price that ebay is showing for an item. The title includes the words “Singing Birds In Brass Cage Circa 1900s” and the item # is 163637324626. When I bring it up in a list of Sold items on ebay.com it says it sold for US$160, but when I open the listing it says it sold for one bid of US$42. Why the discrepancy? I'm researching values and if I hadn't opened the listing, would have thought the value of this item was $160. Thanks.

Probably an auction that had a BIN purchase option of $160 -- so the ebay software picks the wrong value (BIN) instead of the correct value (AUCTION) to display.
