Warning: rant

I hate listings like this, I see it all the time & always go something like this one.

The title says "19 available" but the listing specifics say '1 available', so am I bidding for 19 or 1? Starting bid is £35, but there's a specific price written in the description (should be a buy it now then moron!). There's postage listed but the description says collection only. Item is overpriced and will struggle to sell for what they're asking. They've used "RARE" in the title, halophosphate Polish Philips T12 5 footers made in 2008 are not really what I'd call rare.

Just stick to Facebook marketplace ffs, you clearly don't know how to eBay.

Yup terrible listing, not at all clear. And yea, not really that rare yet...

It's a shame these tubes end up with people who don't know what they are worth. Although, this can be a good thing when tubes are cheaper than they should be. I have been lucky a few times such as with my GEC 8w tubes that I got cheap.
