Default Are these kits anything?

A friend in financial trouble asked me to research these. They are old but appear to be complete.
Are they worth anything?

The Skylane will fetch a reasonable price on eBay, the rest, probably not too much.

As to worth in a word yes they have value. The Cleveland master series kits were some of the most accurate models ever made not withstanding that you had to cut every part of them from printwood. I sold the 83 inch Stitson in really excellent condition for over $300.00 in the 80's but have no idea of it's current value as kits rise and fall on who is controlling the market.
The Goldberg Skylane is a true classic and I wore one of them out about 30 years ago. They are usually worth about $100 or more depending on condition.
Bear in mind that with the demise of kit manufacturers many kits including crap are being offeres at unrealistic prices
