I believe that upon sale yuo would need to ship it to Steve for a checkover & recertification.....he would issue a new warranty to the buyer.

Not sure on the cost.....around $100? You would charge the buyer the evaluation/recert fee as well as shipping, on top of the price you agree on.

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses guys!

"If a buyer wants a warranty for it (the Zstage), is that something that can be reinstated (if seller does not have the warranty), or is it now permanently void?"

Here is a link for Decware warranty info, https://www.decware.com/newsite/service.html, within which the paragraph 'PURCHASING WARRANTIES', wherein it states:

"If you have acquired a Decware amplifier somewhere on the used market you can send it to us for re-certification where we will make any necessary repairs and charge you for them.  At that point, if you wish to purchase a warranty for it, the same costs apply (as described above)[higher of 10% or $100].  You will also be required at that point to purchase a new factory tube compliment that we test in your now certified and warrantied Decware amp."

On that info page there are separate paragraphs for transfer of warranty and purchase of warranty, so I presume the latter fits the case for your potential buyer.

"The lifetime warranty only applies to the original owner."

No distinction is made between lifetime and finite term warranty anywhere on the Warranty/Service/Policies page linked in previous post. There is no indication of limited term or duration of such regarding transfer or purchase of warranties.

I see now that you were probably just pointing out why a transfer or purchase of warranty is needed if desired by the purchaser of used Decware gear, but I thought some might take that to mean no lifetime warranty was possible/available to any subsequent owners.
