Part of the fun of coming to CPF for me was the hunt for "bargain" Arcs. I'd generally buy almost any Arc AAA offered at $40. Ended up with about 15 of them, and about half a dozen LS's. Not that many compared to some folks here.
Even with the new ones now available (of which I have a camo and 3 HAIII lights - see avatar), I still can't stop buying the old ones. Bought a turquoise recently, and just picked up a worn black bodied AAA for $16 shipped. I have no idea why. I really need to stop buying the old ones.
best regards
