Yes, it was gone for 405.00. This Zenith roundie looks very nice.
You wrote in your auction that the crt was tested strong! That's fully correct! But the screenshot of your CTC-5 showed a picture with bad focus and no strong red color, and I think this was the reason, that nobody would offer more than 380. Those which had experience in restaurating tv sets knew that here is some work to do to get this set reliable in working condition. And nobody knew whether the red gun would be strong too.
On my hard disc I have collected some interesting color roundie auctions. Compare the other auctions on ebay. All sets in working condition with impressive screenshots got higher bids:

BTW: I think that the prices for color roundies will increase in the next years, even for those from the 1960s.
