Keep my tubes??


So, I decided to cash out of my tubed-based system about a year and a half ago. I intended to get back in when I could. At this point, I'm not sure when that's going to happen. In my day dreams, I'm even considering going solid state amplification.

My question is, should I hold on to my tube collection or, cash that in too?

My instincts tell me that these are old stock tubes are a limited resource and the supply dwindles by the day (at some point, there will be no more right??)

Since I've been out of the hobby for awhile, I'm trying to understand the other side; the demand side.

Should I hold or sell?

You've been with out tubes for about a year and a half which says that you can live without them. Before making a final decision ask yourself "What if anything am I missing?" If you can't answer it you do not need tubes. So there is no longer a need to hold on to them.
For resale, try a retailer that you know and ask her/him what they are worth. Have not dealt with Upscale Audio but have read good things about them and they might be a good source of information. Where you to sell them yourself, the question becomes "Are there enough there to compensate for the time and energy involved?"
Beyond that it is just acceptance of what your answers are.
Recently I offered some NOS tubes for sale. I purchased them 8 or 10 years ago for $300.00. They all sold within 15 minutes for $900.00 to a buyer in Japan. Seems that NOS tubes are a very good investment.

It's best if you pack them up and send them to me. I'll keep them safe for you :)
