Price of Tubes


Craig Sawyers
 

I'm astonished!

I was bidding on a NOS pair of Tek 12AU6 tubes on eBay - a matched pair.
Nice for my Type L plug in (didn't really need them, but good insurance). I
thought that given the price of NOS RCA 12AU6's here in the UK is around ???4
each that I'd be happy to pay around $15 for a pair of Tek ones.

I was rapidly disabused of that notion - they went eventually for $132.50!!!

Craig,

You can call that 'e-bay syndrome'. I have seen 7000 series plug ins
reaching $150 while there were similar ones with $10 opening bids without
bidders.

Miroslav Pokorni

Don't feel bad about that one Craig. $132 for a pair of 12AU6 - matched
Tektronix or not - is foolishness. That's got to be the audio guys again.
