If it is a Palmer, then Chris is the man to answer your questions regarding value. You can email him at PalmerCollector@aol.com or you can pm him at AZ. He user name is "Tate". You can also visit his great website
www.palmercollector.com.
I highly recommend the folks at Proficient Billiards for any refurbishing work. They did mine and I could not be happier with the results.
Hope this helps.

Overall, I would say that particular model is worth somewhere in the $300-$700 range, depending on condition, straightness, etc. Not having the shaft definitely hurts the value....both 'as-is' and resale. Based on your description, I think you will end up spending about $250-$350 with a cuesmith and end up with a cue you may can sell for roughly $500. Proficient is a great suggestion, but most cuemakers should be able to match up the joint rings and do the shaft and refinish work. Not too difficult of a project.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I received your e-mail too.
The PB 8's were production cues made for Palmer by Adam in the 1980's. They were quite popular so a lot were sold and they're decent playing cues. They only go for $300 to $400 in decent shape with a shaft or two.
Since the shafts have the same dash style two color matching ring, you will have to locate a matching used shaft or have a custom shaft made. It may or may not be worth the effort and cost depending on if you can locate a reasonable shaft.
