No...not all.
6E5 is about the cheapest from that series (I do not count the short ones), and even Russian octal versions are on an order of 18 bucks or so plus hipping from somewhere in Bulgaria.
6U5 which is drop-in but less sensitive is more expensive (it is electrically the same as 6T5, this is why you will see it in Zs).
But take 6T5, the one that came with Zeniths originally.....those even well-used are above $100. They are rare.
In a year I only saw one on eBay.
Right now there is one NOS being auctioned....it is already $125.
