then. But since about 3-5 years ago the auction sites have made the hobby much less enjoyable. It wouldn't even be so bad if the descriptions were not fraudulent. I bought a whole box of tubes that were "new old stock" with writing on the boxes saying what was wrong with each tube. That was my last e-bay purchase. Oh, and e-bay was useless in helping me.
Which is one of the reasons that I allow for sale posts, in moderation, here and have the online classifieds.
But that too is getting polluted, as I suspect some of the posts here about items for sale are from folks "in the business".
