I'm in the UK. I see omnixie is selling "on offer" for $19 but then when it comes to shipping and taxes it adds the ~$40. nixietubes.org guy, Yan Zeyuan, is linking to taobao for purchasing a genuine product where it sells for $12. Can't buy from taobao so trying aliexpress and buying from someone who claims a genuine product. We will see when it lands.. Could still be a copy. Price was £13.
