@JB83, I would typically come in and bid on an auction for something like a Purple Arch but that auction just seemed fishy to me as a collector. I don't know the seller or anything like that so it's nothing personal against the person. My point was simply that if it seemed fishy to me and I sat it out that perhaps other potential bidders felt the same way and did the same thing and hence the lower than expected final price of the auction.

Hey Guys, haven't really been on the forums a lot in the past few years. I won this auction the other day - there are 5 or 6 coloured "holy grails" for me and this is one of them so I put in a decent bid.
The seller was legit and I received the package today and the purple arch is as advertised:
If anyone has a salmon or purple 107 they're looking to sell, I would be interested in buying that as well!

I've found a lot of class As on ebay that came from Seattle.
I live in Seattle and have personally found 2 class A's in the wild. Whether they were relocated from Canada or originally landed here is another question...

I live in Ontario, Canada and I've actually found quite a few very rare figures in the wild. The two very rare ones that I found were salmon 112 and salmon 106 which I have never seen on eBay. Unfortunately I've never heard of a Purple Claw being found in Canada, so I feel like some of the class A's are definitely just in the US or the UK. Just my 2 cents.

Wow, that's a great figure! It even looks to be in better condition in your picture than the one from the auction. Congrats dude!

Awesome. Nice figure! I put in a few bids, but $200 was my max. You got it for a lot cheaper than the last couple that have popped up on eBay. If I remember correctly, those went for $400 and $500.
