There’s some dude in Vietnam doing the same.

Hanoitubes? He’s selling off his grandfather’s amazing tube collection and trying to make as much as humanly possible off of it. Too bad those tubes didn’t go to someone who would appreciate them like his grandfather did.

Bangybangy tubes are especially annoying because of the branding they do. As if their tubes are “special”. Watermarks and fancy pictures etc. they just asked me for an additional $60 to match a pair of tubes. Making it $160 when unmatched pairs by other sellers go for $20.

C'mon @rhythmdevils , Bangybang is the best known tube scammer out there. https://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=tubes&m=279335 Hope you paid with PayPal and can get your money back.

I notice that comments about him have been scrubbed from HeadFi, here and other forums - is he sending out threatening letters? Google still shows some of them. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Menifee+Audio%22+scam https://www.google.com/search?q=%22bangybang%22+scam

You can also find a lot of warnings about him using Head-Fi's own search engine. Why don't these show up with Google? https://www.head-fi.org/search/16420096/?q=BangyBang&o=relevance

Google is doing significant behind the scenes commercial and political scrubbing of search.

Yep, they've always sold tubes at a higher price than what most people sell on eBay. 6SN7 RCA tubes going for $200 for a pair or something ridiculous. I've received very noisy tubes from them several times. There's another seller I think called greengirls tubes. Several of them were noisy (2c51s, e88ccs, WE396). They have a high score since they allow returns and then put those tubes back up for sale.
