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
