Is this a good deal?

Unbelievable.  I have a pair of unused Mullards (but non-10Ms) and feel they would be reasonable at $65 (at most!).  Frankly, I hope tube prices crash like housing prices.  Maybe I should be sellin'.

It is tempting considering that the seller will pay for Priority Mail shipping

Priority Mail is under $5.  Even a flat rate box good for 10 well packed tubes is $8.10.   I will sell you a pair of matched Tele for $300 and I will include shipping by Priority Mail.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL

Besides, I don’t really care for Mullard 12AX7’s. A good US made Amprex or ones made in Holland will play circles around them.

They are not that rare.

That price is way too steep. You'd be better off with Bugle Boys or Telefunkens, both of which can be found much cheaper.

This seemed like a bit too pricey deal.

Just out of curiosity, where are you guys buying from these days?

I will probrably start rolling very soon.

Sam is pricey no doubt, but the quality of his tubes and his service has been excellent the few times I've bought from him.  And, as Tvad said, more power to him if he can get his pricing....

wow - that is quite a price.

I had Telefunken 12AX7's....I like the Sovtek 12AX7LPS's better (to my ears and wallet)  :thumb:
