RE: eBay tubes Gold pins? Real?

There has been an epidemic of tubes with gold pins that never had them. This started several years ago on Ebay where it seems to have run in-abated since. Ebay has always been a caveat emptor situation, most of the dealers I had been using, appeared to my less than perfect eyes had not.
But as long as we are pissing and moaning, I did go back to the 'bay' to get tubes for a headphone amp I suddenly found myself forced to use. I got all manner of tubes, with plenty of crap, mostly noise issues. I refused to pass them down with the as is as found BS, unlike the guys who passed them onto me.
