Went to vacuumtubes.net on home page and clicked on NOS AUDIO TUBES at top of page. I ordered two RCA 5V4G tubes. Paid the $20 each. That is new tube price. I received one tube with darkened glass (highly used) and both tubes had a shiny dot above the two filaments on the glass. New tubes are clear glass above the filaments. The tubes arrived in white generic boxes with a hand written 5V4G in an ink pen. The tube bases looked dull & beat up.I been ordering from them for years. This never happened. I am sending the tubes back at a $7 shipping loss for refund.

Maybe what they mean by New Old Stock is.... New to YOU Old Stock.

The company apologized for the mistake and will offer a refund. But, I lose $7 on return shipping costs. The transaction is ridiculous.
I agree with Ishmael-
If it is a Mistake - then no fees
NOS is clear in its meaning, but not every one understands tubes-
I think that there are a lot of people who have gotten taken buying 'NOS' tubes that were in fact pulls-
Happy Listening
This being the seller's mistake, you should not be paying return shipping!
