This seller has been fishing to sell these tubes for months. He posted these plus 20 others on Facebook a few months ago. I tried to make a private deal with him for over 2 months and wouldn't put a price on them. Avoided the question every time we corresponded. Also made excuses about having a friend test them before he would sell. Anyhow, he reached back to me when they were "allegedly" tested and said make an offer. I made an offer to purchase all 25 (which he found my price insulting, BTW) and proceeded to call me all kinds of names, accusations etc. (which I won't post here) and was downright vicious. Maybe my offer was on the low side but you got to start negotiating at some point especially when he wouldn't give me a starting point. He harassed me privately on Facebook until I had to block him.
Needless to say, if anyone is considering purchasing these, I'd be cautious. Additionally, there are no pictures of any of these tubes lit in our private correspondence or on the ebay listing. At $250/tube plus shipping overpriced in my book. If anyone is considering and would like additional info, I'd be happy to converse privately and off the board. Caveat Emptor!
