Harry Richards cue values

I am one of those "played when younger and now a couple decades later im playing again" people. After almost 2 decades I started playing again a couple years ago. I've added a couple new cues to what I play with but was curious to what my old cues are possibly worth now days. I haven't really found any for sale, so any thoughts would be appreciated. By the way, these are not for sale, I'm just curious.
A 60 inch sneaky pete
Jump break in ebony with a butterfly splice which is the only one of his jump breaks I've seen with a butterfly splice.
A simple birdseye that has more figure then most I've seen and if I recall correctly he told me this was the first cue he used a radial pin in.
Thank you.
David

Thank you for the replies. Somehow they are basically worth what I paid for them then. I know I paid him 275 on the jump break and 350 on the birdseye. The sneaky I bought second hand in a lot so don't have much in it. It is just nice knowing what I have. Thank you again.
 
I have sort of an odd request:

If you feel like it, could post a picture of the screw securing the rubber bumper on the sneaky pete, or tell me if it has a square drive?

Thanks

It is at home right now, but I'm fairly certain that bumper is threaded in without a weight bolt showing. I can confirm in a few hours.

Harry Richards made a solid playing cue, really right up there with anyone better known. Have fun playing again!

Please pardon the mediocre photos but this is what I could do. The bumper was threaded to fit and I cant see anything else in there.

Harry was from Florida east coast. Friends with Dennis Searing, so I can imagine some cue knowledge sharing. Very well built cues, solid cues. Passed away in 2016.
Thanks, Mon!

The cues do look better than average to me.

That merry widow is sweet but with a wrap, trash to me!

Haha, I used to only play with cues with a wrap. Now that is my least used cue, though that birdseye is still one of the nicest pieces I've seen.
