And it doesn't make sense to me that used tubes go for good money, but unrestorable (and even restorable) sets with a likely good 10BP4 inside can't elicit even a dollar bid sometimes at club auctions.

At our July club swapmeet, I heard that after I left someone who had been trying unsuccessfully to sell an ugly, never-going-to-be-worth-restoring set with a weak-but-useable 10BP4 in it, smashed the set and smashed the CRT into the dumpster when he left.
