Hello,

 

I can say with 100% certainty that they didn’t sell for $500+.  To be clear, I 
am the buyer.

 

eBay is strange in that if you have an auction for $550 and you’re willing to 
accept offers in which you do, then the buyer pays the price offered, but 
strangely, ebay shows it sold at the full price.

 

Buyer wanted $550 + $4.53 shipping.  I offered and paid less than $500 total.

 

So, market could be manipulated in that… I could post something (my autograph) 
for $1million, but accept an offer for $1, and ebay will show it sold for 
$1million.  Then everyone thinks my autograph is worth $1million.  J   eBay 
‘should’ state instead that it sold by best offer.

 

Michail

Because you bought them? Because eBay says the sale price was $500 and some.

Well, they sold for less than $50.   I am 100% sure.  J

And they sold for around $50 each anyway. So not joking I guess.

Ach, I was only joking about the £20 (emails are such a bad communication 
medium), but my general point was you don't see them significantly cheaper on 
the ebay market very often, so I think we are in agreement!

You think L38 ($50) is the going rate, but you are only willing to pay L20 
($25) each?

 

When the other seller originally posted, he wanted $35 each which was why I 
bought so many.  Because me and others ran his stock down quickly, he doubled 
his price and hasn’t sold any since.  Also, he is providing NEW NOS in box 
units.   

 

This new auction says used, no box and, may have signs of wear.

 

I didn’t say he was out of his mind.  The price is fair, so I also put in a 
fair offer (close to his price).

TBH these are £38 a pop. I haven't seen these for any cheaper since I started 
looking a year ago. Ignoring the untested nature, isn't that just the going 
rate now? If anyone wants to sell me 6 at £20 each, let me know!

You should.  J   I might buy them from you.  I only have about 30.

 

I admit, he is cheaper than the other seller on ebay; however, the other seller 
guarantees his and I know they work.

It is unusual to have the BIPCO associated with it.....but the tubes are not 
worth that much.....may be I should sell some! :)

I already contacted him.

 

He said, untested and appears to know circuit design.  I asked if he would use 
a plasma ball – He said he doesn’t have one and is busy moving.

 

I made a very fair offer, but then no response.
