I guess I just don't understand why people get so upset. Let him put
them up for $1,000. Or $10,000. Who cares? They are his, and he can set
the price. Nobody is forcing anybody to buy them :)

Absolutely! Since I'm not dead-set on building an 8091-based clock,
I'm only bidding opportunistically.
If I got them, they would go into a box until I have time to build
something a few years from now.
It's too easy to get caught-up in nixie-tube bidding based on how much
you might want a particular tube (I'm an addict, and I want
them....what can I say ???), so I've cut-out the emotional part of how
I value a tube, and base my bid on cost for a given size relative to
other available tubes. No surprise, I lose a lot of auctions. But at
least my garage doesn't look like an episode of 'Extreme Hoarders' on TV.
The 1.375" (35mm) character-height of a b8091 is less than a IN-18
(40mm), and these b8091 tubes have an undocumented history.
They are substantially smaller than the RZ568m, which is brand-new,
has a 10-year warranty, and in my opinion has better construction.
