I like to sell tubes on eBay & for the most part Audiophiles are well educated, no problems at all. I also feel great on how appreciative audiophiles are when they receive tubes. 100s of transactions, no issues.Now, lets look at ham radio operators:
1) 200-lb burst rated box is partly crushed. Tubes are still ok per buyer, but I receive a neutral feedback. Oh ya, the two 6AU6WA tubes sold for $1.
2) Advertise pair 6LQ6 tubes as used. Feedback is positive but states one was not in original factory box & worried the tube would not work. Yes, both tubes were NOS & sold for less than 50% of market value. I never sell as NOS if box is missing.
3) Latest ham states 6JS6 tubes were dusty & would blow up their transmitter (Yaesu FT-101). Buyer contacted eBay Square Trade & also stated one is not Japan manufacture as advertised. I am a dishonest seller. Both tubes clearly state Made in Japan & tested as new.
Guess what. No more ham radio based sales nor advertising in the ham radio section. I collect audio tubes, but ham receiver & transmitter type show up. I'll just pack these type tubes away & sell at a ham swap someday.

Hams above? 6 sales in last 4 months. Audiophiles & musicians? Perhaps 500 sales in last 4 months.
