IN-13s have of course gone up in price at a steady pace but over the last year or so IN-9s have absolutely skyrocketed. For example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223870481127 That's $14.36 apiece including shipping but not taxes—for a lot of 25! If you click on the number of lots sold you'll see that last February the BIN was only $179. o_O Ridiculous asking prices are nothing new on eBay but I've bought from this seller in the past and he/she/it was reasonable then. The pandemic is the major factor in all of this but we all know that stocks of Soviet surplus are dwindling as well. Also, a certain Chinese "VU" meter with two IN-9s suddenly turned up everywhere in the last year. The typical price is something like $109. Could that be factor #3? Forget about hoarding IN-14s, I should have borrowed some money and bought every IN-9 in sight a year ago. I would have at least doubled my money by Christmas. 8D Terry Bowman, KA4HJH "The Mac Doctor" "There is no Main Street anymore except at Disneyland—and try and buy a gun there"—Hank Hill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
