I agree with you on the prices of most obsolete electronic parts. My point was that selling surplus parts to a minority group of hobbyists has got to be a real challenge in today's economy. You and I aren't going to pay today's inflation adjusted rate on those type of items. Their operational costs keep going up with inflation, but for the consumer of those parts, the prices for practical purposes are locked in time. Basically there's not enough demand for the huge volume of parts still littering the county. As fare as I know there's no viable industry needing TV tubes.
