it depends! I got my 2800/2800 6sn7 syl gt vt231-janchs for like $65 WITH box, 30 less than an overpriced Chrome dome short bottle 6s7nw I got and it sounds better, but.... took me 2 months to find that one... so I'd say keep looking
You can still get pretty much everything outside Brimar, Tungsol RP, 1578 and Syl 6SN7W for <=$60/pair on eBay. Just needs a bit of attention, ignoring all the obvious stupid prices, and not getting too hung up on test results. I usually judge usage unscientifically by how the pins look.
