It will depend on the condition of the ukulele, but banjo ukes do very well on eBay. I recently sold one for over $150 and it was not in perfect shape, but certainly playable and sounded good. I made a video so that they could hear the banjolele before they purchased it.

A MATTER OF SIZE & SOUNDBoth tenor and plectrum banjo are 4 string instruments and are capable of rendering a wide variety of musical types - ranging from jazz to classical and even bluegrass plus everything in between.
