Current Marketplace for Vacuum Tubes?


Hello All. I have been away from the audio world for several years, and I'm out of touch with the marketplace.

It appears from a search of tubes presently for sale on Audiogon that the marketplace has shrunk.

I am preparing to sell off some premium tubes (or so I consider them), and I'm interested to know more about marketplace alternatives for audio tubes. E-Bay is, of course, a known marketplace. If there are others, please discuss.

TIA.

Thanks to those who read my question correctly and offered good information. I discovered US Audiomart, which looks like a reasonably good alternative. I never had much luck selling on AudioAsylum. 

jea48, thanks for the link for reference pricing. 
Tvad - welcome back.  Hope this is not a one-off posting.  Your expertise and experience were valuable, here.  Been a noticeable decline in "quality" since you and certain others became less active.  

Wasn't sure if your inquiry was intended to provide you with potential outlets for selling your tubes OR give you a glimpse of current tube prices.  

See list below for additional sellers.  Some of these might buy your used tubes as well (Brent Jesse, mentioned above, will):
Jim McShane
Antique Electronic Supply
Tubemonger
Upscale Audio
VacuumTubes.Net
PartsConnexion
The Tube Store
Eurotubes

I'd be surprised if you were not already familiar with many of these names.

Again, welcome back.

Potential outlets for selling my tubes. Getting up to speed on current prices will also be helpful. I suspect E-Bay will be best for private party pricing (more equivalent to vs. dealer).
In my recent experience with selling tubes I would say my best success came with Ebay. I got more views and they also have an international shipping program that helps with selling abroad. I had a buyer from South Korea interested in my 2A3 tubes and I sent it to Ebay's international processing center in Kentucky and they sent it abroad. No hassle for me on that transaction.

Part of the reason why I think tubes or lower dollar items aren't sold here on Audiogon is the commission structure. It is getting even more costly to sell here. You will really take it on the chin selling less expensive items.

I listed the various tubes I had here on Audiogon and I never got a sale or even an inquiry about them.
