Re: [neonixie-l] Re: What is a fair price for IN-14's nowadays?

[ZY]

I might have to bite the bullet and shell out for a set of IN-14s and a 
couple IN-18s to make another set of clocks. 

What's the next tube down the line in terms of similar digit size and 
lifespan? I would assume the IN-12 is a cheaper alternative to IN-14 if you 
can deal with the top-down view?

Soon the IN-18 price will reach the Millclock ZIN-18 price, making the 
newer nixies a better buy. I'm not sure what the ZIN-18's rated life is 
though, and I guess IN-18s will continue to rise above that due to the 
vintage/rare appeal.

 As usual, I'm still kicking myself that I can't talk to circa 2010 Nick

Nick, if you get there, same message to 2010 Richard please

In recent years I bought a box of 25 x IN-18 for £725 delivered to the UK, 
that was a bit of a stretch for me at the time.

If I knew then what I know now - I would have stretched a little further I 
think.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: What is a fair price for IN-14's nowadays?

[Bill Notfaded]

Nick-

I did a little bit of that... but not nearly enough.  I bought a sealed box 
of OG-4 and A-101 dekatrons... just because I could.  I also bought some 
full boxes of IN-12's.  A few years ago I bought some full boxes of IN-18's 
but any full boxes now people want ridiculous money for.  I suppose for us 
it's a little harder when you know what you paid not that many years ago.  
I think supply is finally drying up... reaching even the eastern block 
sellers that are scraping bottom of the barrel now.  This should be good 
news for new Nixie manufacturers!  I can't wait to build a big round top 
facing Dalibor tube clock!!!

That brings up something else... what is the correct terminology for 
tubes/type/view?  I always think of IN-18 style tubes as side view, and 
round B-8091 style tubes at top view.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: What is a fair price for IN-14's nowadays?

[Nicholas Stock]

If people keep paying these prices, then sellers will keep charging
them...clearly someone is paying these amounts (which kind of blows my
mind), but such is supply and demand.

As usual, I'm still kicking myself that I can't talk to circa 2010 Nick and
say "hey, you may want to load up on some of those boxes of new IN-14 at
