Newby Runs into a bunch of new old stock tubes - Best way to get rid of extras..
In my quest for a tube tester, I have bougt the remains of an old TV
repair shop and have between 500 and 1000 new old stock tubes in original boxes in good shape, several testers, a couple hundred of Sams tv schematics in like new shape. record players, some in almost perfect condition, stereos, a couple of tube tv's and radios, and who knows what else. How is the best way to sell the things I have no need for? How can I figure out fair pricing? Is an Ebay store a good idea? I am sure these can be used by someone... Thanks..J.P. |

NOS TV-type tubes (as opposed to the audio ones) have a street value measured in pennies (when you can measure at all!) Picking them over for the desirable ones (some sweep tubes are desirable by hams and unfortunately CB'ers, a couple of the Compactrons are used in a couple brands of guitar amps) and selling them on E-bay, and then hoping to sell the remaining hundreds for a few dollars, is probably the best choice. There are some good guys on E-bay who sell refurbed/guaranteed turntables already, look at what they sell and their prices and policies. Boxing and shipping will be a major cost for each sale. Tim. |

People over in these forums would be interested in the "low value" TV tubes: http://audiokarma.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19 http://audiokarma.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=45 http://audiokarma.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36 |
