I remember ...
I was at Ernie's shop in Commerce City, Co right at about 10 years ago and Ernie was in process of making one 'for himself' of a fairly similar design (he ended up re-working it to add beveled ivory diamonds and little silver dots). I visited when he said "I'm all done except finish & wrap, wanna shoot til you miss?" as he pointed to the 5x10 in the shop at the time. I naturally complied, threw out 1-9 and went to pocketing & enjoying & experimenting with the playability of that cue. Two words:
Beyond superb.
Ernie would not sell this cue similar to yours at the time since he wanted to have 'something' to showcase (no pun intended) his works. About a year later he'd sold the same cue to a local.
If the cue you've offered up for sale plays anything like the one I told this tale about, you should be able to sell this one at nearly any reasonable price.
