Bear with me a moment while I explain.

I was looking for a source for Type 50 tubes (used, new) and came across PXVANE WR50 new mfr.

I've used PSVANE EL34 tubes in a Willsenton R8 amp, they're not awful, cheap backups.

I read several articles on PSVANE tubes (good, bad, ugly), but in my searching I came across this website as the 18th or 20th link: https://www.newportboardgroupllc.net/

I had a friend once who was a purchasing agent, buying/selling overstock, warehouse sales, out-of-business/bankruptcy sales brokering deals at ridiculous prices ("ten thousand cans of blueberries at a profit of 10 cents a can for me adds up to a Corvette in my garage," he once said) so I wasn't surprised to see a set of tubes selling for $400 elsewhere ($320 best price on Aliexpress) for $77 a PAIR here.

I had a similar experience recently with looking for Hashimoto OPTs - too good to be true, I mean and I didn't buy - so I dug deeper.

The address given is on a corner lot farm property in northern Wisconsin somewhere. Not unreasonable as in modern-day e-commerce one can work out of their car with the right tech.

A search on "WHOIS" shows very interesting details, as the group is registered in California (Godaddy, same as I use), but ultimate ownership seems to be someone in Singapore.

That's Singapore SE Asia, not Singapore Wisconsin.

I tried sending email but the link was broken as were most of the other info/FAQ links.

I use BRAVE browser so no popups or other nasties got loaded onto my iPad.

Sure is tempting but, this isn't blueberries and no telling what I might get, paypal/bank accounts hacked and drained, a box of broken glass and metal, no box at all.

Just FYI and wondering if anyone has come across this site?

This "New World Disorder" is fascinating.
