Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?

I was told  by a reputable source that WE will be producing small signal tubes and power tubes .....not might, will be

I would not expect them to be inexpensive.

I must agree with @ketchup . I had no idea what your original post meant until there were subsequent posts to help decipher it.

You have a better chance of finding a dispensary sale. Well, maybe not you mountain and west coast kids.

I'm not expecting WE tubes to be inexpensive,  I  just bought two pair of 300b.  What I do expect is for them to be of high quality.   

Maybe if people didn’t buy $200 headphone amps and burn up rare tubes for mediocre sound we wouldn’t have this problem

LOL. They'd be much better of with a $3000 power cord.
