Bill, times have certainly changed for obvious reasons. There is the occasional 'bargain' to be had for those that pay close attention to eBay etc, but gone are the days of yore. I'm sure there are a number of list members sitting on 'hoards' that may let things sell here and there, but inflationary greed being what it is, prices are only going up. My interests veered away from nixies to other vintage display devices for exactly that reason and prices are still reasonable for CRT's, dekatrons etc. How long that stays true is anyone's guess, but the trajectory will be the same I guess...
