I have several ukes here at our part-time summer place in OH, and brought a couple of others along. I was missing the baritone uke I have at home in CA, and was about to buy one on amazon when I thought about Craig's List. Sure enough, I found a used one in decent condition for half the price. Had to buy new strings.
One of my uses for the baritone uke is to emulate a harp while playing/singing some of my arrangements of Welsh ballads. It also helps not to have to sing one or two octaves lower than the instrument. Some folks question my logic, saying "it's the same sound". To my ears, one or two octaves lower doesn't sound the same ???
