UNRELEASED Easton Z3K (Not Z2K) Z•Core Sc900 Scandium Bat (-5) 33"/28oz BZ3-K HOLY GRAIL

Yes, this bat actually exists. Most people don't know that Easton continued to make new, fully unrestricted, juiced bats well into the 2000s, although due to BESR restrictions most of these bats were never released internationally. However, in Korea BESR restrictions apparently were either never implemented at all, or weren't put into place for a very long time. So Korea became the only country where these bats were exclusively released in, meaning that to the broader world these bats are never-before seen! This bat has it all; as the spiritual successor to the Z2K it has it has the Z-Core's carbon-core composite inner lining and is made from the most advanced Scandium-alloy blend available; Sc900, meaning it's even more developed than bats like the Redline or Z2K (which were only Sc500); which means that the barrel is a lot tougher and has an even larger trampoline effect. It also uses the opti-flex technology that Easton developed in the late 2000's, so this bat benefits from the two-piece construction method to reduce vibration. tldr; It's a hybrid between the legendary Z2K and the Stealth comp bats. Unfortunately however, this bat was also known to have paint issues where it would flake off, so I suppose that some things never change. In part I believe that is because the trampoline effect of the barrel is just so pronounced that the paint will inevitably pop off. Other than a few spots where the paint has chipped, this bat is in good original condition. There are no dents or cracks in the barrel, and the end cap is still solid. The two-piece connection point isn't loose and does not rattle at all. From what I've been able to tell only a single one of these bats has ever sold on ebay before; and that was many years ago and in the UK. This bat is as rare as hen's teeth, especially in the USA. I'd be shocked if there was another one anywhere in the country. Also, it should go without saying that I don't really expect someone to buy it now for $5k (though that would be nice), the price is just to grab attention. I have no idea what this bat is worth, but for how rare I know it is I have to figure that it should be significantly more valuable than any Z2K or Redline. Make me an offer for what you think it's worth. I have also since removed the tape from the end cap to make sure nothing was tampered with or replaced, and the end cap is still solid and tight.
