Ukulele blog and spam music

The uniquely talented Wikipedian, teacher, and singer-songer writer Oliver Brown has started a blog about ukuleles. The first thing I learned: I've been making the inverse of the "nucular" mistake, spelling "ukulele" as "ukelele." (I wish more of Oliver's music were available for download. You have to hear more than a couple to appreciate his whimsical seriousness.)

Canadian superstar BradSucks has put together a CD called Outside the Inbox:

Outside the Inbox is a compilation of songs inspired by and titled after the subject lines of mass-email (spam). I asked artists to choose a spam subject line and then write a song with the same title.

It's just US$5 for the CD, and that includes shipping. Or, you can download the whole thing for free, of course. But, jeez, if you like BradSucks' music and you're not willing to support a guy who lets you listen, rip, mix, and sing along for free, then what hope is there for honest musicians like him?

Hello.
Several years ago I bought what a Salt Lake City dealer called "a classic Harmony Baritone Ukulele". I paid $1400.
I'm trying to sell it now and people are laughing at my asking price and telling me that I got snookered by the SLC dealer.
Can you tell me what a reasonable asking price would be? Its in good condition..needs a new case.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
