Dave,
I don't think they would be worth much. If you can't find someone to take
them, I would suggest calling the HP Recycle department. Their number used
to be (800) 535-7933. I haven't called it in a few years, so this number
may not be correct any more. In any case, HP will pay shipping and pick up
the devices. I used it many times to get rid of some of my old equipment
(like a 7925).
Good luck,
lb
