Pronoun
Either Wally nor me - should this be Wally or I is?
See example:
Neither Wally nor me are willing to sell these pugs separately; indeed, my partner and appraiser believe that someone who is knowledgeable in the world of antiques are waiting for these pugs, which are indigenous to China.

While using "Either_____ or" and "Neither _____ nor" verb agrees with the subject closer to the verb.
In your case the pronoun I comes closer to verb so it should be am. See here:
Neither Wally nor I am willing to sell these pugs separately. Indeed, my partner and appraiser believe that someone who is knowledgeable in the world of antiques is waiting for these pugs, which are indigenous to China.

Neither Wally nor I will sell ...
