Ha ha. I know. I have purchased tubes - and many other things on eBay and gotten some great deals...and I have been ripped off.Once I was surprised in that the person who sold me a tube that was bad actually replaced it free of charge. Fantastic.
But it has me thinking about the warranty issue and thought I would gather opinions on the subject...and this is my reason for posting.
Is it just something folks put up with? Caveat Emptor?
Another question then - who here has purchased a bad tube and NOT given a negative feedback or sought resolution from the seller? Just shrugged it off as an 'Ah well, better luck next time?' and a 'Not worth the hassle'.
And I have nothing against the sellers of tubes who are boutique sellers with their own sites, businesses, etc...neither would I expect their sympathy nor their condemnation for not purchasing from them. Actually, it probably helps their business because they do stand behind their product...so, should I expect their thanks that I am discussing getting bad tubes on eBay, right? But by your reasoning I shouldn't discuss vendors who do not support AA?? That hardly makes sense. If I bought an amp from eBay and not a vendor who advertises here...would I still have a right to discuss it??
