Exactly that. Main way to tell is that you always have to RFQ and/or request details. Most of these sites never list a price since they are more likely to get your email addy when you request a price. Most are out there just to get valid email addresses. You are then on the permanent spam lists. Michail Wilson 206-920-6312

Then there are other sites that comb the internet for items that are for sale, and place those very same items on their own website for sale. I see this happen all the time, with items that are for sale on Ebay. You can prove this to yourself quite easily. Find an item on Ebay that you have an interest in, then go and use a search engine (I do use Google), to search the net for that same item, being sure to use some of the key words in the headline of the original Ebay ad. Lo and behold that same item will show up on several different websites for sale. If this doesn't work the first time, you may have to try a different item. Ira.

I only can locate these sites when searching for eg. "B-5991" tube... If you request a price, you mostly don't get an answer or a text like "could you provide more info, we can't locate the part", but have it listed on their page ??! For example: http://www.csgparts.com/part_nsn/B5991/ Does anybody know whats going on there? Are those sites running on old databases or just listing parts to get views or something? (Sorry for not knowing this, i'm relatively new to collecting nixies). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
