Any recent reliable source of Shuguang 845B tubes from China on the Ebay or web sites?

Have been trying to source high quality 845B Shuguang tubes, and have found a wide gamut of information & misinformation... The US shops charge an arm and leg for these compared to the shops in China & Hong Kong (since I am looking for a match quad, or two), so I wonder if anyone has bought these within last year and can recommend a reliable supplier... Thanks

You pays your money. Returns? Warranty?

Yes I know, hence looking for the reliable source to avoid any possible headache, but most likely will buy locally if nothing definitive comes up

I bought mine from atitubeman1.  I think he's in Florida.  Yes, a few bucks more, but I don't want to have to start shipping back to China and I'd rather pay a bit more for an item that lasts years.  But that's me. He has some fancy ones up on Ebay right now.  I could probably use a new pair myself.

@chayro
Thanks for you advise! Did you get the 845Bs or which ones? Yes I ve been in contact with him, seems like a knowledgeable person...He only offers 90 days warranty thou, and some shops in China offer 1 year...From what I hear  those PSvane 845 are not as good as regular Shuguangs, and that is one of reasons Rachel from the Grant Fidelity dropped them, because of excessive failure rate... But most likely I ll go with Atitubeman..
