Yes, one can get a "good deal" on eBay, but I almost always find that the tubes are not quite as advertised, at best. Recently I bought a quartet of Raytheon 6SN7WGTs. The seller admitted that one of them was marginal but claimed the others were "good". I find the reverse; only one of the 4 tubes is worth saving from the trash. I am currently awaiting the sellers response to my request for a full refund. This is only the worst case; all of my recent purchases (of 12AT7s and 12AU7s) off eBay have been disappointing, too, although not as nasty as this latest one. IMO you are better off in the long run purchasing tested, selected tubes from a known reputable dealer, even if you pay a little more.
