Well I guess these people are like the Audiofools who pay outrageous
prices for vacuum tubes.  I have a box full of one such tube which
last time I saw any on EBay where going for over a 100 bucks each.
They are a European brand tube with, gasp! gold plated pins. I would
put what I have on EBay I think I have 25 or 30 of them but then I
wouldn't have them anymore.
