REAL TVs have TUBES!

I've gotten (to my intense surprise) over $250 for a 7" tube on eBay. The whole key is that a reputable collector (the seller of this one) has stated that the tube is good, and was actually tested in a TV and not on a checker. If I were a new collector, and had just re-capped a set, I'd rather pay $200 or more for a KNOWN good tube, than to buy up a load of them around the internet and hope one might be OK.
