well, if you're looking to sell, i found that going to the main cities like drok's and LA kind of useless due to all the trade spam. try going to the smaller towns in the higher-level sections, like the desert and the ring of fire. i found that i sell more that way.
anyway, i don't really know the percentages of the expert kit, but i think that you have a rather good chance of getting the wrapping.

You should salvage that beast. The wrap is worth 75k or so, and you have about a 75% chance of getting it, so consider the salvage option worth over 50k. I doubt you'd get that much if you sold the staff as-is.
EDIT: Unless you have, like, no gold. In that case you should not take the risk of ending up with wood planks, and instead sell the staff as-is for 40k (or more if you can).
