There is no point in competing with the Russian sellers, since they have the ability to drop their prices below anything you can do - they're sitting on a large amount of stock and trickling them out at high prices because they can. Similarly, there are probably enough B7971s out there that the sellers could drop below the cost of manufacturing new ones (that is probably already the case, actually). Producing even a single tube of good quality / life is difficult and Dalibor has done an amazing job. Rather than producing a tube style to compete with him, perhaps try a rather different type. What I'd like to see is something unusual, like the F9020. Even with the equipment and materials, there's a steep learning curve. Large portions of an original IN-18 production line, components, and work-in-progress were listed on eBay a few years back. Yet all IN-18s are still old stock.
