Yeah, the automated help gets me nowhere, It ends up more frustrating than helpful. I seem to remember sellers having to provide tracking, just never sold on there before so I’m not sure. Just never bought an item where this has happened, and this tube addiction means that I’ve made a lot of purchases haha.

There's no requirement to enter shipping info. But if the payment was done via PayPal the funds are released to the seller more quickly once the tracking info is entered, so it's in the seller's best interest to provide it.

$6.99 probably too much.

ROFL! That one has ended, and this one now comes up when clicking on the link TK posted. Has one thing in common: priced at 10x its value.

I've frequently just gone to "contact seller" and ask if an item has been shipped. If it hasn't been, that usually gets them going.

Yeah, I did that 4 days ago, sent a polite message asking for the tracking number. No response.

And says “the tube may vary from the picture shown” so you could end up getting a $2 GE.

If anyone wants a tube tester, this is going for half the price they usually do, with free shipping.

I’d be willing to buy it, calibrate it, and restore things like the capacitors and clean the switches etc and send it on for the cost of shipping and parts (parts = typically about $25 - capacitors and resistors).

Shipping will be around $50 to $70, they’re quite heavy.

Seller seems knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Edit to add the link duh

Depending on how bad you want the tubes, if they are available from a different seller, request a refund. If you really want them keep pestering him.

Another good deal from the same seller. Again, I’d be happy to recap etc.
