Buy in bulk.

I got a box of 50 for $25 back in 2008.

Have you tried Ebay? What type of Nixies? Pic related is about $1 a tube.

Anything other than tiny ones or ones with odd symbols are rather expensive now due to everyone building nixie clocks in the early 2000's and using up the surplus supply. Good luck, nixie Anon.

Otherwise ebay. You could try looking for some Russian site but I think they all sell on ebay anyway. Even if they're out of stock on tubes-store, it's a great reference for different nixies and neons, VFDs too but VFDs are mediocre in comparison to upside-down fives. Unless you decide to buy the alien VFDs, pic related.
