FS: Sherm custom cue

I'm not sure how much this cue is really worth, so If anyone has a ballpark let me know.

I'm not sure of what Sherm's prices are but I would image that your Buy-It-Now price is a tad high. If your reserve is pretty close to it then I doubt it will sell. I'm the current high bidder, but my max bid isn't anywhere close to the BIN price.
 
The owner set the price. If you have access to a blue book, it says customs start at 1000. Level 2's are in the 400 area. I was hoping sherm would make a comment on this cue as he posts on here every now and then. Original owner claimed a value of 1200. He has quite a collection of cues (75+) but isnt always the smartest when purchasing.

Price is lowered also by about 25% because of the owners name on the cue too.
 
Below is copied from the Blue Book. This appears to be a level 2 cue, so:


The following are minimum prices for other Sherm cues encountered on the secondary market. These prices are representative of cues utilizing basic materials and designs that may not be currently available. Sherm also offers one-of-a-kind cues that can command many times these prices due to the use of exotic materials and artistry.
Special construction note: There are many materials and construction techniques that can add value to Sherm cues.
For all used Sherm cues:
Add $85+ for each additional original straight playable shaft beyond one.
Deduct $100 for each missing original straight playable shaft.
Add $100+ for ivory joint.
