The title of the auction says it all. It aims to otakus, specifically to fanatics of Stains Gate. Now after buying this tubes they will need the rest of the hardware of the Divergence Meter which I suspect will miraculously materialize as an auction with a bizarre price tag as soon as this tubes are sold. And not, I don't expect it to be a new one but another "thoroughly tested" specimen.

Just use Google and look for NL5441A and check the photos, you'll see that the seller is offering the same tubes or at least the same photos are used for some (of his?) auctions on many sales sites all over the world, and a few of them in China.

I just think that he wants to make some money, as most of us are. But offering them in some places for these prices will not sell them to any of us price conscious persons as we know we can buy them at lower prices and possibly also in better condition, but he might get lucky and people from his region might also see them if he exposes them to several auction sites.

I also know that some people like to show off what they have and therefore set unreasonable prices for the items listed, seems to be a more common practice in China though and is usually followed by some comment that thaey are not for sale, if you try to buy them the seller just refuses to sell and then promptly lists them again. I know because I've tried to haggle and negotiate with some sellers after I found out about this behaviour but one seller told me it was only for flaunting what rare items he got, but he was willing to sell some other things so it ended up a good deal for me anyway and I learned something about this behaviour.
