I am sure the seller (who basically lost $200) feels the same way. There are always two sides of a coin, people.

Some years ago I saw an auction for two B-7094 Burroughs Nixie tubes (2" front view tubes), and I asked the seller if he was willing to let them go for $100. He added a "buy it now" option, but unfortunately somebody bid $10 on the tubes before I could buythem for $100, so the "buy it now" disappeared.

Long story short, in the end I bought them in the auction for around $500. The seller, as it turns out, had recently lost his job and desperately needed to sell his Nixie tubes to get by. This is quite tragic, and it has showed me that looking for a great deal (a.k.a. buying Nixie tubes from someone who doesn't know what they are worth) is not always great. Just my take on this.

Cheers
Jens

I like these tubes but look at this price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223572928485 I just can't imagine anyone buying this.  It's neat but not cheap new car neat.
