The seller of these tubes is Patrick, and was a member of the old yahoo neonixie-L (user=arcpat1 from as early as '04), although I don't know if he's posted to the replacement google list.
Yeah, IMHO these B7971's are just washed-and-recycled tubes in the stock styro carrier. It really does not matter as long as they're sold with a guarantee of all segments being functional. $175 is certainly a lofty goal for as-is. He may sell some if others squatting on tubes don't jump at the opportunity to undercut his pricing.
