Palmer Cue Value?

I think it is priced at least $250 too high.
I don't think from what I can see that cue is the vintage they claim. It looks like one of the imports and probably not worth very much.
It is a PB7 (late 1970's) and made by Adam in Japan for Palmer Cues.

I would put the price at on this cue in good condition at around $300-$350, if it was mint as in like new condition around $450-$500. I had some of these cues before, I think I saw a PB6 on here that I used to own for around $400, it was mint and refinished though.

thanks for the info... that would make sense why i couldnt look it up anywhere because in the listing it says FB.
Lenny has about the right price here if the cue is in decent shape,
The Palmer PB-7 was a popular cue. The PB line was a production line made mostly in the 1980's by Adam cues, Japan, to Palmer specs. Adam cues at that time were high quality.
These cues are good players - like all the old Adam cues. Many of them are full splice, or full splice shorties - which are hard to find anymore - and they play great.

What Chris says is exactly right
Given prices of todays cues I would have thought it was priced about right. I play with the PB8 bought in 1980something for about $225. While I am currently in a slump it is no fault of the cue, It plays just as great as it ever has. Its owner leaves it in the car overnight winter or summer and doesn't give it a second thought. It waits for me to come for it anxiously waiting its next game, hoping I get out of whatever kind of funk it is that I am in. People sometimes make a fuss over it asking what kind of cue it is.
If you are looking for a great playing cue I believe you have found it, It could very well be the last cuestick you ever buy

I have one exactly like it. Bought from Palmer factory in Elizabeth NJ in '79 or '80. Still have it. Like new... except has been chalked. Very nice cue.
