I'm becoming more and more ambivalent towards the pricing of anything listed on Fleabay, especially many of the BIN prices, or $XXX or Best Offer. There is one guy on there, in Italy, who asks at least four times what the next highest listing does for rather common tubes, it's not surprising that he does sell very much, so I'm not sure of what he is basing these prices on, maybe conflating USD for Italian Lira? So it's no surprise that his most recent feedback is more then six months old. The ones that puzzle me are where they try flogging rectifier tubes, which are full wave to start with, in "matched pairs", I guess it makes as much sense as those $400+ power cords I saw a few years ago.
I figure if you really want to see what something can sell for on there, you make a search under "Completed Listings", but that is only really valid for Fleabay. In truth Fleabay has been largely bypassed by other selling platforms, much of what is listed now is AliExpress or Amazon type junk, new, but cheap import stuff, sometimes direct from the "Middle Kingdom". I would be reluctant to buy a speaker off of there, many of the jokers posting on there have no clue how to pack anything, the one I bought, the Dictogrand, is quite compact, it would fit in the same sixed box as an average 1930s five tube table radio.
