  • Tousands of toobs!

    JAN6189 and JAN6005, approx. 8,000 of each. Bidding is at about $1500 US with around 16hrs. to go.
    I'm interested to see what they end up going for, lots of room before they even hit a buck each. Somebody will make some money, but it may take awhile to unload.

    Those are actually really cool tubes. Somebody is going to score, or not... Application is the issue. These are basically premium 12au7's and 6aq5's from my short research. You could probably sell them as such with a markup over the final purchase price, but it might take you five years and many trips to the post office to sell them all. I don't have the capitol right now anyway (who does?) but I think I'd be out anyway. Still, good eye and good lookin' out. It's a pretty stellar opportunity for the right person. If that person is a member then you've done them a solid by posting this.

        It looks like the 6189 sell for around $20ea. (+/-) and the 6005 go about $13ea. if you match them in pairs. It'll be a lot of work moving them, but even if you sold them in lots of ten or twenty at half market just to move things along that's still a profit of $124,600

          Dang. I think I'm glad I didn't see that until it was too late. I know my wife is...

            I forgot to correct this one, somehow my browser wasn't updating the bids properly. In the end, the lot went for approx. 25K US, so around $1.50 per tube.
