We all know some rare tubes are sold for a lot of money.... but this is probably a little to enthusiastic from the seller :)

Fun! Used tubes with 0.3” digits for $999. J
This is the same vendor that was selling obviously defective B7971 tubes about a month ago. There’s something off with this dealer. He seems to offer many items for pickup only in the Washington DC area.
On this listing for used BD-200 tubes @ $999, he offers the tubes for shipping or: “Or cash on PICKUP in Woodstock Virginia”. EBay probably just hasn’t yanked the listing yet.
When he was selling the defective B7971 tubes, I sent him a PM regarding selling items that were known defective and suggested that folks in the nixie community look out for each other. He got no bids and this was the message that I got from him:
We all know the expression, “There’s a sucker born every minute” but it is unfortunate that there are listings on eBay that rely on that principle.
