Can anyone verify if this is a Adam Rambow R/A-7B?

Yes, it is.

Are you the Ebay seller?

The cue is in shabby shape. Needs a lot of work. Not cheap work.

I have the same cue with two original shafts in nice condition and wouldn't seek the $1,000 I saw that listed for. I then got an offer of $600 because I was watching it. Still too high.

I am that seller. Was waiting on some type of confirmation so priced it high so I didn't mess myself up. Can always go down but can't go up.
If you're interested go in and make an offer based on what you've seen.
I've had cues redone but it was many years ago so I'm sure the price has gone up substantially especially to trust someone with a stick that appears to be fairly rare.
Thanks again for the confirmation of what it is. If you'd like to do something outside of EBay it would save me the fees which in turn would bring the money down 👍🏼

By the way, the cue is itself is a "cheap knock off" of Rambow's work. But it is collectable. It's a first run cue, one of the first Adam cues, made in Japan.

I just checked, I got mine in 2019 in nice shape (not perfect but much better than yours) for $275. And that was with 2 original shafts with the aluminum inserts.

I am guessing you are getting offers in the 200 to 250 range, and maybe crackpots saying it's a fake.

If you look up prices for s new butt cap, wrap, and refinish at Proficient Billiards you can get an idea why the condition matters so much.

A refinish with leather wrap is $325. Plus whatever the butt cap replacement costs and whatever else they run into. Is the shaft straight?

I would guestimate another $100. Then there is shipping both ways. That eats up the value of the cue pretty fast.

Frankly, it's worth whatever someone will pay. I would throw a starting price of a couple hundred on it and let an auction run to completion.

But be prepared for problems, like buyers wanting money back due to the condition, even though it is clear in the pictures.

Thanks for your honesty. It really helps. Probably just going to pull it down for now. Don't want any jacked up sales messing up my 100 on eBay. 🤣
And yes the shaft has a slight bow. That's why I said it would need restoration but I agree. It could be an eBay nightmare for sure 👍🏼

Italy or Canada on yours I think.

Here is a Dynaball cue made in Canada for example. With some work it could be a nice cue. I don't own it. I would buy this exact cue cheap though. I like it. I would seek to have it rebuilt. I have more pics. Butterflies are perfect, and it is true full splice.
