I actually talked to the guy today and his name is Andy and he is real nice and he does landscaping and sells tubes on the side..He is 30yo and has been selling tubes since he was 14 when his dad found a box of 100 brand new 12AU7 RCA clear tops new in box at a garage sale for like 5 dollars and he sold them on line..The tubes he sells are all vintage and he is still learning after all these years but he honestly didn't realize because he took very good pictures so he wasn't trying to hide anything.
Now naturally if he was this super know it all tube dealer that some here think,he would know that selling those tubes could potentially damage his reputation..Would he really want to do that with the excellent feedback he has? I seriously doubt it..The guy only sells on ebay from what I gather and we surely would have heard something if this is a practice he regularly engages in.I can sympathize with him because I went thru a similar situation six years ago..It didn't snowball but life is a learning experience.
