Hi,
well, Ebay price strategies are always interesting - and funnily enough,
different sellers obviously use different approaches as well.
There is this one seller from Germany, who has a LOT of these small 7977
equivalents (over a hundred I would say, I have met him and seen his
stock). But he makes the mistake of listing far too many of them at a
starting price that is also rather high.
Other sellers, though, list their tubes as "no reserve" and speculate on
the price to climb due to that. After they have established a price this
way, they add several "Buy-It-Now" auctions. I dislike this quite
strongly, because I think it is simply ripping off people.
The most effective approach is what the Russians do with their IN-18
hoarding - buyers might not like it, but it is working (for them).
It's been a long time since I have sold on Ebay, I usually start the
auction a 1EUR and see where it goes.
The bottom line is, though: $19 for a single not uncommon tube is too much.

That can be debated all day long. The best test is to stick them on
eBay, and see what happens. Either 'Buy-it-Now' at your price of $19/
ea, or in auction format.
I stumbled across a bunch of ZM1000s about 5 years ago. A bunch, as in
well over a hundred. Not only where they still in their original
Amperex boxes, they also came in 'sleeves' of five. Shiny and new.
REALLY, New-Old-Stock, not the stuff commonly pawned off on eBay. I
sold about a hundred of them on eBay, in lots of six. I let the
auction settle the price. The 1st few batches went for ~$40, or ~$6.50
each. Eventually, they started going north of $60 per lot ($10+ ea).
Mind you that was a few years ago, before all this price inflation.
So stick them out on eBay, and see where the market goes.
