Don't get too excited, they are not the Coveted German variety.

I'm not buying a set. But I have paid that much for a set of tubes before.
Am I mistaken to think that's a FLAT OUT RIPOFF?
Or have I missed the severe tube inflation...
I don't think there is a forgery issue on either set, the seller clearly states that these tube are 1968 Yugoslavia made with Phillips tooling. So, I would expect them to look different. I think they are getting hard to find, so sellers are trying to get top dollar for anything with Lorenz name on them.

dox,
I am glad you brought those up,
First, I looked at them and thought the same thing. I paid $59 from Lithuania.
Then I was looking at the pictures and the one I bought look squat compared to those.
I was concerned mine were fakes. But the seller has 1700 feedback at 100%
Perhaps it's just the photo.
Forgive me, but if that's the case....screw that!
You can pickup a plethora of other tubes that are much better than any SEL Lorenz.
Unless all other tubes have gone through the roof, like the Mullard CV2492's which were $200. They better be $350 or some other closely absurd price. Just IMO.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did start the post by stating not to get too excited, that they are not the coveted German tubes. I was not suggesting anyone buy them. Everyone was talking about Lorenz this week. I assume that you have heard that particular 1968 SEL Lorenz before?
I would say that sellers ask that much, because there are some people that will pay it. That auction has already sold one set.
