I believe its like with a lot of russian/soviet products, they were produced in factories all day, just to keep all people the job (planed economy). Like IN-12, there are so many those available, they are sold in quantities of 100 for about 100$ on ebay.
And i believe many of the Auctions that include 10+ IN18 Pieces are sold to sell them later again, instead of use. I've seen a pic on ebay last week, dated 2005, selling IN-18. I bet that guy bought them for like 10-20$ per piece and now sell them for the double. Am Dienstag, 20. Oktober 2015 15:00:20 UTC+2 schrieb Greg P: > > I'd say so, Terry.
