It was worth $30 for me just to see how it hit and the mystery of trying to identify it.
Well, how does it hit?
it hits similar to my old Huebler
WTF? Then it's a viable player! Saying a cue hits similar to a Huebler is an attention getter. The conical taper is a negative, but it has a fat shaft that could be turned or a different shaft screwed on because it is a common joint.
Throw it on eBay and see what happens. I think you'll easily get your money back and then some. Make sure it's a good ad, good pictures, and detailed description. Make sure you mention the 14 pin joint, you know "just like most Balabushka, an other greats".
Real points/veneers. Real linen.
And...It hots like an old Huebler (YMMV of course, but I would put that in an eBay ad)
If you have an old spare "good" shaft with a pro taper that isn't particularly valuable but fits, you could package that with it for an Ebay sale. Or maybe a case. Maybe if it goes over X amount you can add such a thing. Lots of ways to entice bidders.
I would be curious to see what you could get with a well presented eBay auction.
