Shipping is via E-Bay global shipping and we have heard about their examination/destruction of nixie tubes with no recourse to the seller.
For what it's worth.

Speaking of B-7971's, on a whim, I just did a search on eBay for the rarer cousin of the B-7971, the B-8971. Amazingly, I found one.
As I haven't bid on this type of tube in a while, I'm not sure what the going rate is these days, but $200 seems reasonable, given how rare they are.
It looks like a used tube and as such, cathode poisoning/degassing would be a concern, especially since there are no photos depicting it in an energized state. To the seller's credit, he/she does have perfect feedback.

I am not sure of the seller that Michail is referring to on ebay, but I can add my experience that this listing contains known bad tubes and the seller knows that some of us are on to him...
BEWARE.

Hello,
I have tubes; however, I don’t think I would be in a good price range.
So, just to set a price....
$130 each + shipping. Will take a video of units working and mark them as you wish prior to shipping if you like.
There are cheaper units on ebay, so no need to tell me you can get them cheaper.
Also, I can with 100% guarantee that a specific seller on ebay is currently selling bad units.
He screwed me for a bunch of bad units of which I am also willing to sell at less than his ebay price - heh.

Does anyone want to sell me 6 B7971 tubes at a reasonable rate? I would li9ke to build one of the new NIxie clocks from Michael B.
You would be shipping to Washington DC not the UK. to make it easier for you - most collectors seem to be in the US.
This reminds me of a precious painting - better for the tubes to be on display than in a vault somewhere collecting dust.......
let me know.
many thanks
Jack
