You know what... Reading his original CL ad, I see things that make me think it's a fake ad, possibly.
First, why would he say it's working perfectly but needs a tube (that's an oxymoron). but putting that aside, and if he has the tube, why not install it? No screwdrivers in La Mesa???? And if it IS working perfectly, it has to have been recapped. If THAT was done, then it wouldn't be $20. Could be that he thinks it's a $1000 set, and he thought he'd work up a frenzy of interested collectors who would eMail him repeatedly with higher and higher offers, eBay not even involved.
Or this might be anything from a nasty prank to a husband & wife issue "Honey, sell that TV and buy me a new washing machine or you get the couch!" So husband says "OK, I'll try to sell it". Seller ignores offers, then tells wife "See, nobody will buy it for any cash, I like it, and now I get to keep it"
There are some unhappy people out there who get off on screwing with others just for fun. But to invoke the very name of our board here; KARMA takes care of those people eventually.
