Art,
You replied within 8 minutes that you would take the deal. Now I can see, if you didn't take much time to read over the description how you could assume the tube was included. But when I read over the description myself, I did not see it listed, and I would have inquired with the seller to find out.
I bought 10 USGI mags from someone on e-bay, good price, but I never asked if they were preban or not, there was nothing in the description either, but I assumed and was shipped 4 post-ban 30rd LEO mags along with 6 prebans. This was resolved in short time. I guess what I am saying is, if you don't ask the question, don't be upset at the result.
I was upset, not because of the deal, but that I ended up in possession of illegal mags.
Not intended to be a flame, JMO

BTW I tend to find there are few "deals" on the EE. Almost everything is very close to retail or more in some cases. But every once in a while a great deal pops and then you gotta be quick. It is a good place to find hard to get items. Don't take me wrong here, I love the EE, and one day I hope to find that "deal" kinda like winning the lottery.
Hey I even tried to get a great trade for my Taurus PT99AF, gotta try.....
