Title: ZP3 for sale on Ebay
Post by mark58 on 06/05/19 at 12:26:48

This is a black top with a single on switch, no standby...so it is fairly new manufacture. You would have to ask for the manufacture date and upgrades.

I see 5 bidders since my post. Has anyone asked about upgrades?

From the rectifier socket it doesn't look as if it has a Jupiter cap upgrade. What other upgrade would you anticipate? I would expect if it had any upgrades, capacitor, Anniversary, it would be mentioned and there'd be a reserve or a higher initial bid price.

I asked the seller a question about upgrades, just for you!

Bikesandaudio? Seriously? This is pawn shop merchandize. It looks in rough condition, all dusty. Would be a good buy for somebody who will send it in for upgrades.

Got an answer from the seller about upgrades:

"No, it is stock. Here is the label from Decware. I am Bernie Hyman original owner. Scroll all the way to bottom.

Bernie"

PS: I scrolled but nothing was attached.

I also contacted the seller...first my questions then his answers...

A few questions...
1. Are you the original owner.
2. On the bottom will be a sticker with the manufacture date and any upgrades...please provide that info
3. Tubes included?

Response...
Original owner
Sticker was included in email response
All tubes included

LOL, like you Lon, there was no photo included.

I think it's legit, personally. As for the sticker pic, I just think he doesn't know how to attach the pic. (Not sure I would, either).

I too think this is this guy's personal ZP3. Since I'm not interested in a third ZP3, I won't ask for more info. What we know is this was manufactured sometime during the last 5 years, has no cap upgrade and comes with unknown tubes ("all tubes included"). I wouldn't think this is worth more that $850 but given it's already over $500 on the first of six days,who knows...

Steve's stuff has gotten more popular the last few years esp on the second hand market. Last zp3 that showed up on eBay was a buy it now for 795 and it didn't last for more than a few hours before it was scooped up
