Marked down to $22 new. They actually sound pretty good! If nothing else, might be a good candidate for a rehouse and/or to repurpose the enclosure/parts for another build.

DANG!
That's worth getting for the enclosure alone! Well, it's worth it if you live Stateside. Shipping anywhere outside of Con-US would probably be prohibitive.
I'd rehouse the guts and sell (give) it away and keep the housing and put something else inside.
I was going to say I'd refinish it, then I had an idea...
A whole BEHRINGER-BASS'd [sic] Board where none of the guts are from Behringer, but all guts are booteeky DIY builds — some pedals might not even correlate to the graphics on the Behringer enclosure. For example, this one could be a massive one-knob Velcro-Fuzz with octave-up switch instead of a phaser.
At least you'd be less likely to have your board stolen, though thieves are opportunists and will take anything left unwatched.
Back to the VP1...
Even Griffin Effects wants $30 for an open-box used VP-1...
In Canada both Cosmo and L&M have it for CAD52.99, that's USD38.50 before shipping, if it's not at the local L&M (though they'll do inter-store transfers nor nothing). GC's USD22 = CAD30, that makes the VP1 at GC a bargoon, even with shipping!
So, looks like Guitar Center won't ship to Canada, that means a State-side pal needs to trans-ship it to me...
Then the cost of the Hammond style enclosure to swap it out and all that time and effort and possibly decorate the new enclosure to fetch a higher price on Kijiji — but how many people even want a rehoused Behringer? (I'd be forthright and tell people exactly what it is).
Ah well... Enjoy your VP1-dealio my southern friends.

robocop has it listed for $22 with faux-free shipping.
it's reportedly a clone of the Small Stone down to the volume drop and the background swirls when in bypass. but now they list it as true bypass so perhaps they fixed that issue over the years.

I've had 3 of those! I still have 2, a 70's / 80's one and a 00's Analogman modded.
Here’s a link with a few search filters to see the other cheap behringer pedals:

One that stuck out to me:

Awesome! I love that 50% of us open pedals before we plug them in. 
(Well, I often do.)
I'd be interested to know if they fixed the volume drop. I found a thread complaining about it, but it was from >10 years ago.
(A volume drop would be true to the original so that's not much of a problem.)
