if you wanted a purple claw but missed out last time, this auction contains another one of these which, until recently, were thought to be non-existant.

I put a bid in on it, but would be willing to get that claw to someone if they wanted it and could help me out with the price of the auction. I just want the muscles to build up my collection. I've got bids on like 6 different lots, but always seem to get sniped right at the last minute. It's so damn frustrating

PS - I noticed that there's a purple tortle in there too!

This is amazing! The second sighting of the Purple Claw #153. I believe DocMoore would be seriously interested in this lot. Doc, you must win this! It also has a Purple Sunshine #3!!! Isn't this one figure that you do need, or is it just the Magenta? If you do win this, and you do not need the Purple Sunshine #3, can I buy him from you? Or anyone that wins this auction??? I already have a Purple Claw, so go get it my friends!

[arforbes]

As you can see, it's only a matter of time before the figures that seemed to be nonexistant show up on ebay. If you think about it, I'm sure you will agree that our Super Rares and Rares will show up once again. This is the second Purple Claw, but I'm sure there were thousands made. And Blackhole Sunshine and Spinning Head Ashurman... I'm sure they made more than just a few. They're out there my friends, it is our job to find them.

It's only a matter of time...

I promised the next purple claw to my boy beligerant, however, I would appreciate it if he wants to trade or sell me the purple sunshine figure. Just a warning to other members of the board, when it comes to sniper time if I see any name except DAMHSL you will be sniped. Not because I am an a-hole but because this auction has at least two figures that I have been keeping my eye out for a LONG time.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

okay, looks like i can write this one off

[Krangala]

Aggh.....Doc....that sux, bro!!!

I'm current High Bidder (found the lot last night)......

Sorry Specter, didn't know that was you I just outbid!

uhh, if the Purple Claw means THAT MUCH to ya Doc, don't snipe me, I would offer it up willingly......

let's let the lot go cheap, I'll give the claw to you.....seriously!!!

I could care less....I already have ONE claw....I just wanted the other stuff.......

if ya still wanna snipe me, that's cool, I only bid fifty cents more......but I wouldn't mind having a few of them meself......

Also, if you leave it alone, I'll give YOU the Purple Sunshine!!!

I really only want the Arch Sunshines, the blue guys, and a few of the red ones.....

[jkaris]

Okay guys, here's some advice. Since the board is not the only group of bidders for MUSCLE items on eBay, I suggest you put together a plan. Figure out who wants what, and how much you are willing to spend MAX on this lot. Then have Taichi bid that total amount. It may never get that high, but it will keep you from getting sniped by someone else. And then just split the costs once the lot arrives.

Just my two cents.

[Rokk]

Yeah, I had already put this auction on my watch list. This looks like it will be a pretty popular lot for a lot of us on this board.

[Tortle]

That's a great idea, Johnny. I'd be willing to pitch in for that purple Tortle. Is anyone else interested in doing that combined-bidding idea?

[doc_moore_j]

I want beligerant to talk to me before I decide anything because if there is anyone on the board who wants or deserves it more than me, it is him. For newer members that were not here, the purple claw <snipped - Doc, Do you really want to give out that info to a possible shill bidder? - Johnny>. I am determined to win him. The purple #3 sunshine is almost as important. As far as the rest of the lot goes, I could care a less. Nothing important to me. Taichi if your max bid is only 50 cents more, I am certain you will get outbid without me having to outbid you. I am willing to work out a deal of a few people want a few of the figs. If you are looking for arch sunshines, I have a magenta, and a salmon, maybe even a fleshie I'd have to look. As mentioned in my previous post I will bid not because I am mean but because these two figs are important to me. The previous auctions with the purple claw brought in a pretty penny, I am hoping this one does not catch so much attention. Now that there has been a few auctions with him I hope he is not so popular. I still need him though.

[doc_moore_j]

Ok since everybody on the board is eager to share this one. Why not let me bid high and win it, I promise to release the muscles other than the ones I have mentioned. The only reason I want to win it is because I am not afraid to bid high. I want to make sure I win it. Sound fair? Purple tortle, arch figures and others will be sent out respectively.

[Rokk]

Johnny does make a good point. I wasn't interested in the colored figures. I'm still trying to just build a collection of fleshies.

I'd agree to that.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

taichi! after i just drove 16 miles round trip to get you a robin mask

[doc_moore_j]

Hey guys, check out the description, he mentions he is not selling 25 of the figures pictured. Why put them in the picture then I wonder? I emailed him but did not get a response yet. If the figs I need are not part of the auction i may retract my wanting to bid on this lot.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

yeah, that'd be a good reason to retract....what a stooge he is

[SpectreSuperSix5]

are you sure he isn't selling 25 of em? the way i read it is....

All except for the bottom 25 (see pix) I labeled with their correct numbers

I think it should say "All except the bottom 25, I have labeled with their correct numbers."

Maybe I'm just a dumbass though.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

just an after thought, when he said "he labeled" I hope he didn't write the numbers on each guy....maybe someone should ask him before winning them all and having them all have writing on them?

[Rokk]

It looks like he labeled all except the last 25 and then he lists the numbers in no particular order for the last 25 figures. Inlcuded in that bunch would be the purple #153. I think it was just a poorly phrased paragraph. And, yeah, I'd not be happy if this guy actually wrote the numbers on the figures. I seriously doubt he do such a dumb thing.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

hey doc moore, if you are gonna bid high on this, and then give out whatever to whomever, let me know what you've got left in the lot and I'll make you an offer for them...as long as they're not written on, hehe

[Rokk]

Yeah, I'm interested in the fleshies only. Of course, that is assuming this guy hasn't marked on the figures.

[doc_moore_j]

Now that I read it again, I think you guys are right. I just read it wrong. What a dork I am.

[EVOM]

Hmmmm......I`ve been looking for #3 in purple since the colored figs first came out, I guess that would make me an A-hole as well. (If I bid)

[Krangala]

Okay, I'm out.....anybody wants to outbid me, just bid a dollar more than the high bid.....

as for you, Doc, It's no problem at all.....I never expected to actually win (I hadn't noticed the claw in the lot, I bid before I even saw this post.....then I found the post, was excited that another Purple Claw had been found, and clicked the link......imagine my surprise when MY lot came up! )

it's no biggie......I do want the arches, but it's not an important thing....

SPECTRE.....worry not, I still need the RM, and will be sending payment ASAP!!!!

Thanks for going out of your way for me......your money will be sent as soon as I have a total (For shipping)
