NOS Amperex 211 vacuum tube

Hello: 

I have a rare quad set ofNOS Amperex 211 Vacuum tubes. Bonafide, tested, In fact two quad sets, but I am using two tubes in my Air Tight 211 monoblocs. I've had these tubes for years. Thinking about downsizing. I think the Amperex sound better than almost anything, and I have tried almost every 211 tube out there. Does anyone have an idea of what they are worth today?

Those are some fantastic tubes don't sell them unless you sell your amp!

Jond: I think that you are right, but I also have a quad set of NOS GE, a pair of NOS RCA, Elrog 211 & 242, and a couple others. But I'm inclined to hoard what I have and let someone have a nice surprise someday when I am finally gone. The Amperex probably sound the best of the bunch.

I'm in a similar boat, I've got a large tube selection of hard to find/rare 12AU7 and 6DJ8 families. I hate to get rid of them, but it's probably the better part of an Aurender streamer in value
