I concur Luka. However, there will always be someone who wants to collect rare things at any cost, so best of luck to him/her, I'm sure they'll find a buyer somewhere...personally, I think nixies should be used for what they were intended, not stored away in a drawer etc...but that's just my opinion, nothing more.
With those kinds of prices, it's just a matter of time before Dalibor flexes his tube making skills and makes an extra large Z568 variant......hopefully!!!
