I had to factor in those extra high shipping costs. Wish me luck guys.

ROFL! You could at least have done $30. Cheapskate.

Wait I thought the plan was that you out bid me at $30, and we split them.

Ahhhh....the market has normalized again.

Oh. Yeah. Good idea. But will it sound as good if it's only $15 instead of $150? I think not.

Yeah, what you said. Before, it was Frankie Goes To LoonyTown (or Texas).

It actually was ‘Frankie goes to NC’ ; give Frankie credit, he gets around!

Not to cheer on the Tar Heels? What a tube!

Well, I guess I'm going to find out if this HuntandPeck Auctions is the real deal. I saw they had 2x Sylvania 7236 tubes listed. They are highly regarded, and I have one that I am quite fond of, but it has developed a buzz in one channel. The H&P Auction listing was for $150 and I offered $80 for one tube via PM a few days ago. Crickets. I formally made a best offer at $100 for both and it was accepted, LOL!! $100 for 2 x of these 7236s is actually a pretty good deal -- if they measure well. The pics look sure look like NIB to me. Fingers crossed and I will report back with the quality of their listing, but it seems that they will take a reasonable offer -- at least to the extent that they think it is reasonable.

May not have been the reasonable-ness of your first offer -- they may have not wanted to split up the pair. In any event, $100 for a pair of those is a great deal. Hope they test out nicely.

I thought that was only ones @JKDJedi modded. Speaking of Chinese, how’s the DV part swap going @bcowen?

I guess 6 shots of tequila is guaranteed to add that sparkle and soundstage.
