Do you know how eastern sellers (Ukrainians, Russians, etc) are uplifting the tubes prices? It's a very simple trick :) I had bought many IV-25 about a year ago for funny money. It was a real catch! After a few days, the seller had raised the price 10x. From that moment on, every next person, who had found that auction, could think, that so many tubes had sold for that high price :)
