I'm puzzled by this seller's prices. The more desirable stuff has a rather steep markup compared to other sellers with good feedback. For example, here's his listing for a new IN-14:



It says 925 sold but of course the price may have been lower 900 BINs back.

I snagged one in cherry condition during the HV PS crowdfunder a few months ago. I checked eBay at the time and there were a number of good deals in the $20 + shipping range. I realize that prices are steadily rising but this strikes me as riding the crest of the wave. 

Am I just out of the loop? Someone please do a reality check.

When you click on "xxx sold" on the listing page you get to see this:
https://www.ebay.com/bin/purchaseHistory?item=322820055634&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2564
As you can see most tubes were sold to people making an offer. The last sold Buy It Now price is from February 5 and back then it was $17.97
So far no one has paid $29.97 for a tube

HA! I didn't know that was a link and I've been on eBay since '98.  o_O

I knew there was something going on.
