Help! cant open tube - metal caps at both ends. Tried a butter knife but does not work. Chain saw may be next. The anticipation is killing me - is this just a cruel joke by the seller from ebay?

CAREFULLY use a saw (or serrated knife if you don't have a saw) to cut off the end of the tube. cut as close to the metal cap as possible so you don't damage the poster.

OR a much better idea would be to look for a seam going around the tube, probably with tape around it and open it at the seam. the tube should come apart into 2 parts without removing the end caps.

cut the tape about a quarter of the way down on the tube the cap slips off

Telescoping tube? There should be a seem about 4-6 inches from the top, gently cut the tape there and it should slide right off.

soak the tube in water, thus making it a lot easier to peel open

Send tube to me, and I will open it... I'll keep the contents of the tube as payment for my troubles and send the tube back within 4-5 weeks...
But seriously... Bottle openers work the best... Trust me
