Hi Chris,
Thanks for your bid! I saw the one you recently bought with the dacron wrap. That's a winner!
I know that Rick was looking for the Model 11. He was telling me that he had bid on the last one that came down the pike several years ago. He said that on the ones he needed to complete a collection, he would just go crazy on his proxy bid, and even though he paid a little too much, it would almost always insure that he would win the cue.
When the last Model 11 came along, he said that he thought he would get the cue for $400-500, so he bid something like $800 on a proxy. Said he came home later that night and someone had overbid his proxy and he'd lost it!
I have an $800 reserve on the Model G. It's a solid cue and I think someone could pick up a nice old Palmer at a reasonable price...
Best regards,
Steve
