Red face Help - to keep or to sell

Hello rocketeers. My family and I picked up a box of rockets at a neighborhood sale. It looks like these may be quite old and am looking for some help in determining which we should play with, and which we Should maybe sell to a collector.

What we have :
Blackhawk: built but not flown, with bag, image card (packaging) an instructions. Never fired to the eye.

Estes sentinel 1987, in package still

Estes swat 2017, in package still

Estes space shuttle 1284, built but not painted complete with packaging and instruction guide.

Estes saturn v, 2001. Fully built and complete. With instruction manual.

Also two old vintage looking silk sewn parachutes


Any info/ advice on pricing would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Play with the built and partial kits. the unopend kits may be collectable to someone.

Check out Gerrys price tracking to get an idea of what the un opened kits are worth.

The most recent S.W.A.T. sold on Ebay for $39.95 with only one bid. I can't find any info on the Sentinel. I've built both. Both are cool rockets, but the S.W.A.T. is underpowered as it is packaged. If you decide to build it, you might want to consider making it 24mm powered instead of 18mm.
