Could you post some photos?

I don't imagine there's a large demand, but I would be you could at least double your $10 investment if you find the right buyer . Seriously, though, I have no idea on what the demand would be for an El Degas ukelele, in order to give a value.

thanks I will try and post some pics
just picked it up for grandson to play with then though maybe its worth something
guess not as much as I thought

It's certainly worth something, I was being facetious. Unfortunately I'm not sure what value to place on it since it's such a niche product and might be seen by some to be more of a novelty.

If it helps at all, we sell Fender brand ukes from time to time at the store. The basic mahogany model sells for just $99. Nothing fancy, kinda small but a real instrument. They go up (of course) depending on size and built in electronics, to about $299 for the larger (baritone?) with a single cut away, like a guitar. No kidding.
