Yes, totally out of hand, i own 18pcs of this tubes... would make a fortune to resell them, but i keep them because i like them, and i like them even more.
Personally i think, even tubes are now a victim of social media. I have a personal profile on Instagram and i see alot of electronics and even nixie clocks there some times, since most of the people seeing stuff online in social media (fb, ig etc) don't know jack about electronics, they just look for something to buy thats a finished product, price doesnt matter. I noticed prices going crazy over vintage stuff all the time, and i get spammed by people that want to purchase stuff out of my collection. Actually people offer 700$ for a pandicon tube, wtf. Hopefully the hype will be over some day :) Some days i think about purchasing 5mm LED's for 0.10$ and vacuum them in bags to sell them for 10$ in 40 years :-)... or those 2x16 LCDs heheheh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
