I ordered from Voodooman six months or so ago and his communication was awful. He wouldn't respond to e-mails. I was finally able to get it after slapping him with a Paypal dispute. This was for a pedal that was "in stock" on his website.
Despite the picture, the listing states the tolex color to be "Black Taurus Vinyl Covering"
It definitely looks fishy, but the text coupled with the 100% feedback there's a possibility it could be legitimate.
Sign up for Paypal to handle the logistics of payment. You might want to try The Gear Page forum, as well. To be blunt, you won't get $2500 for a no stripe Mark III. With the hardwood you might be able to get $1500. That said, I wish you luck in your sale, it is a great looking amp.
I'm selling an Abacus that I have no use for. I just put it up on Ebay.

In a fit of stupidity I sold mine so I want to get another. I'd like it to be with perfectly straight rack ears. I'll either pay outright or I could trade you my Bad Cat Hot Cat with some cash on your end. Thanks.

It has a few scratches on the top, but the rack ears are perfectly straight and it works like new.
Yes, it was the same #47 bulb, the problem was that the surface of the bulb would was too slippery for my fingers to grasp. I had to put some electrical tape on the end of the bulb so I could grip it and be able to turn it.
