Notes:

No genuine M·A·C colour names used in the auction listing - just a description and a number

MAC PIGMENT VIOLET shows shade/lot number of A16. If this was a M·A·C batch number it would indicate; First production run (A) January (1) 2006 (6). Current batch stickers have shade name on as well and are not on the box but on the base of the pot.

This cannot be an old product from 1996 as batch numbers then had five characters and would be something like 6A017

A16 is fine on the base of the glitter liner. It's absolutely wrong on top of a box of pigment!

Steveslots is still selling on ebay. I just checked and his most recent sale was today, November 3, 2007, according his feedback profile. Looks like he's been selling contact lens solution, eye cream, perfume and razors. Hope those aren't fakes!
