What kind of appraisal are you looking for? Replacement value or the value of the cue used in the current market? Big difference between the two.
 
I've flipped a few Espiritus in years past and they are pretty hard to move, not because they are bad cues but just not that popular. I'd say if you can move it at $250-$300 let it go. Not knowing how deep you are in it I hope this isn't offensive, just my experience.

The market value is what you can actually get and nothing more.

Seriously?? I know they aren't a great resale cue but that's a beauty. I was thinking more around that $600 range give or take, depending on condition of course. To the OP, if you let it go for $250-300, send me a PM.

Then why not offer the op $600? It's actually worth what someone will actually pay.
 
It was made in 08 with 1 of 1 on the forearm. I'm not in it too much but I can turn a russ around here pretty easy. I talked to russ about it a little and he said it was 2500 new
 
I used to live in Meridian and saw and owned many different cues made by Russ. Outside of Mississippi they just arent that popular. Im not sure why other than Russ has a period where alot of his cues warped just months after purchase. I dont think this is the case now.
 
it has a slight wobble when rolled on the rail and very little when rolled on table. I plan on getting one of his new shafts for it just so ill have a extra shaft
