If you take a look at any Western Electric equipment sold on Ebay you will see very high prices paid. This not only includes tubes but any parts, speakers, amplifiers, etc.

Yeah, I don't sell much myself (I'm more of an "accumulator") but the few bits and pieces of not very remarkable W.E. stuff I've unloaded over the years usually went to Asia and astonished me what it sold for. If I had them, I'd unload any of the magical tubes that offer "purer sound," "clearer tone," "mellower frequency response" and all that other malarky and replace them with garden variety 5U4s and 12AX7s in my equipment. My personal favorite piece of nonsense is those "audiophile" oxygen-free AC cords that sell for several hundred dollars apiece!
