I picked this up cuz it was cute. Searches come up empty, so I'm asking your advice. Is it worth the 1/2 price listing fee or should I just toss it in the Goodwill box?

There MUST be someplace you can list this! Did you search for "Shafford" (on the bottom) to see what they made and when?
Kitchen Collectibles?
Weird Stuff?
Pottery and Glass: Made in Japan?
1950s collectibles somewhere?
Candles/candleholders?
It might sell for $10. It's the kind of nutty thing I'd want in my house because of the words and also the candle holder. It's pure kitsch, which I love in moderation.

Why guess about the value? It will only cost 15 cents to find out for sure. I would list it. You may wind up with a pleasant surprise.

I believe your figurine is Brother Juniper. I would list him with the Keywords "Shafford" & "Figurine". If you do a search you for Brother Juniper you will see quite a few similiar items & you should certainly recoup your investment. Good Luck!

A search on 'monk' was okay, but the Brother Juniper search was the jackpot. Although most have sold for ten or less dollars, I did find this one. Nice!
