The seller sez: "winning bidder has the right to have me open the box and confirm integrity of tube, etc. or have that privilege himself."

Pardon my French, but WTF? This goony bird doesn't know if this tube has gone to air and expects people to bid blindly on it only to find out AFTER they've won it that it may be bad? Some people would be willing to take that gamble if he started the bidding much lower, say $9.99 (which also would've cost him less in eBay fees).....but, nooooooo.....

Oh well, it'll be interesting to see what happens anyway. BTW, is this the toob that a CTC-16 takes? I always get the numbers scrambled in my mind.
