 And so do other legitimate retailers who have their own stores.

 The problem with epay is that purchasing tubes from vendors there requires that the customer be well informed and very familiar with the tubes in which he has an interest. So unless you are very familiar with tubes, you are better off going to a trusted vendor. I have been using Antique Electric Supply since the 1900s and never had a problem.

 I have patronized AES since the 1990s!

Fun fact about AES: during the 1990s any electronic surplus store would use the AES "buy price" (AES bought and sold tubes) as the default purchase price of any tube they sold.

 "Didnt see any tubes im interested in atm."

But they list the tube you said you were interested in (5814).

 Yes they do but not the particular one or ones I'm wanting to try next.
The one they have listed atm that i looked is not on my list.
Not looking to spend a bunch just yet, just trying out some different tubes to see which ones i like best, but not break the bank while doing it. So many flavors of the 5814's, just wanna dip my toes thats all.
I have rca cleartops which are fine for now.
