Plain Palmer value?

[Killer Miller]

My buddy has this old Palmer, 3rd catalog #1. This model started in 1971.
What is the value of it now?
Should I refinish it? gain or lose value?
The shaft is warped.

Or, not worth the money and time to refinish this cue? ( no sentimental value here).


TIA!

I think you throw it on ebay and see who bites.

Not worth the refinish, especially with a warped shaft.

Even 10 or 12 years ago, when people were eating-up Palmers, I don't think it would have been worth it.

$100-$150 cue in my opinion, refinished or not.

piece of imported junk. not from the 70's at all. came after the company was bastardized and brought in imported cues.

Maha, this cue is the same as the 3rd catalog pic in 1971, what year did they sell out?

Never mind, zoomed-in on picture.

Unfortunately the cost to refinish would exceed the value of the cue.
