$700 is a lot of money, but it will only sell for what the market will bear. If no one wants it for that price it will not sell. 
 
I happen to get my Mullard GZ34 Metal Base (rs1-55G=1955) - for a good price, used from France..
 
Best sounding Rectifier I have heard in my WA5... But I would not be replacing them at $700 a pop that is for sure.
 
Cheers,

Hi,
How much did you pay for the metal base one with the broken pin?
Thanks.

I paid 20 dollars for one a few years back. Tested and still tests as new.
