Erlewine Chiquita travel guitar value?

[firebirdguy72]

You know the one from back to the future? Where Marty blows up the giant ass speaker. One popped up on craigslist and am interested to see if it's worth what the guy's asking. Couldn't really find an answer on the interwebs. It's yellow with One humbucker and one single coil. Looks like a hard tail strat type bridge. Original case with the original mini amp and strap. Any idea of a value? Probably not the best place to ask but this is really the only forum I frequent.

The price seemed very reasonable but I just wasn't sure if they were dime a dozen or not worth anything. From what I've read online they don't intonate worth a crap because of the extremely short scale.Guy only wants $40 for everything. I figured it was a good deal but you never know about stuff like this sometimes. Just because they may be harder to find doesn't necessarily mean they are worth much or desirable because of some of the issues I've read online. Emailed him but no response yet. No phone number unfortunately.

Never mind... Guy sold it. Emailed him 3 times and never got a response. Posting had been up for like 2 hours when I first emailed him.
