Whats a fleabass worth?

I saw that yesterday and couldn't believe it. It's a beginners bass when it came out years ago and tbh, a pretty crappy one. I would be surprised if someone bought it at that price.
Well, it's not gonna be me. Or you, I suppose.
Although, with the low production numbers, it is something of a collector's item. Maybe.
A Funk Unlimited Flea Bass for $1400 would probably sell
Those funky import "fleabass"es are worth about whatever you're willing to pay.

Are you talking about the funky color/round pickguard Flea Bass, or the Fender Jazz Flea Bass?
The funky color ones go for €200 to €300 in the local want ads, only because they're not common here. Cheaper in USA, apparently.
AFAIK, the funky ones are so-so sounding/playing basses geared towards entry level players.
They're also very polarising in reviews: people either love 'em or hate' em, with no middle ground.

I had my hands on a used pink/green one aka Teletubbies Flea bass at a Pawn shop a couple of years ago and was considering getting it more for the novelty of it but for the price it was selling for ($150) and after noodling around on it for a bit, it wasn't worth it even for that price.
