Helmstetter Value?

[azhousepro]

OK gang, I'm looking for help for someone who emailed me again. They are looking for an approximate value on this cue. Any help would be appreciated.

It‘s fairly plain. I say $75-$100

 

[Black-Balled]

Was the guy named justinb?

And that cue fix guy is lowballin..I was gonna say $110.

If he finds the right buyer.

Need to know if it rolls straight to get a better idea of value but I concur with an est. of about 100.00

 

[Fatboy]

$100 if it rolls good

 

[mikemosconi]

Late 80s, early 90s - they play OK if straight, nothing special- $100 agreed if straight.

 

[measureman]

I would pay $100 if I needed a cue.
Those old Japan made Adam cues were solid.

 

[Gravey39]

What joint in on that? I know someone that might buy it for $100

So a couple more questions would need to be answered.
Does it include a shaft? I don't see one.
What is the weight?
What is the ferrule dia?
Any cracks?

yes it includes shaft, complete cue .. it does seem to roll well ..ferule diameter looks to be 12mm, I don’t see any cracks and it seems to be 20 ounces

its worth somewhat more than 100. you cant get anything hit worthy for 100 anymore.

To be honest most look for more precise info but you provided some good info that should give a good idea for value. I'm still thinking around 100 since it's a plain jane.
If you list it you may get a lot of questions so best to get precise measurements and cover everything in the ad to avoid excess questions.
Weight of butt/shaft separately, length of butt/shaft separately, ferrule diameter. List any defects you see ie. scratches dings dents etc. Rollout separately and together, indicate any lift or warp. If it includes anything else list that too.
Best of luck.
