I didn't notice until now, but this was his listing as well:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sockets-driver-boards-acrylic-case-for-huge-B-7971-nixie-tubes-/253280344586?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=%252BwLb3fpLJSR3Pq2fJfKBqd%252BbX4I%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

He basically asks a minimum bid of 300$ for 2 untested Ultronic driver 
boards and a piece of plastic with six sockets inside? He must be joking.
