Squier value

Some of those were going real cheap a few years ago ($100-150), not certain what they bring now, but many that have them really like them, especially if they got them at that price ... these came out of the Cor-Tek plant, usually have 'Licensed by Schaller' stamped on the machines ... many of these also had 'laminate' bodies (or some call plywood), the one I had did (I think it was a year or two newer than this) ...
... what is the asking price?
Edit to add: ... the neck on the one I had was incredible ... everything else, other than being very light was nothing special at all, body was actually starting to de-laminate (I think they were asking $125 for it and I paid $90-95 at a MI swap meet in St Paul) ... if you are a P guy, I would look very hard at one, just for the neck in the right price range ...

More photos would help.
Some old Squiers aren't half bad - but some are just firewood. It's really hard to tell what you have there without a bit more information.

+1 more on the $150 side if it's in good shape. It's made in Korea not Japan which would have bumped it up quite a bit more. Made by what is now Cort.
When you consider you can get a new Squier P for ~ $300 (and they're good players), I'd say $150 tops.
That bass is an absolute steal at $110. I'd be all over it at that price. Those old Squier series Fenders play every bit as well as the Mexican Fenders.
Yeah, if you can get a good feeling and sounding bass for $110, how is that not a good deal?
If it is local to you, I think it is certainly worth your time to check it out ... for education purposes if nothing else ... I think I sold the neck from the one I had for around $100-110 .. unfortunately, the body was pretty much a give away item with it de-laminating ... after having one, I dont think I would buy it sight unseen unless the money was not a concern for you ... very seldomly is an education free ... JMHO
$110? I'd like to know how the rest of the bass looks like. If in good condition it very well might be a good deal. As mentioned above by tjh- worth a look if nearby.
Besides, it's a FENDERsquier How many Squiers have that distinction from a historical perspective?

Don't... I thought it was a black label Squier series when it doesn't have a black label logo duh duh duh.
Don't fell really dumb; just feel dumb 'cause you LEARNED something!
Squiers seem to vary WILDLY in quality - there are several build lines, from cheap student / beginner types all the way to pretty nice quality quasi Fender types.
Those MIK Squiers, from my experience, vary too - some are nice, some are firewood. It all depends, ya know?
