Long story short. Friends of mine were decimated by Sandy. Father was a woodworker. He passed away during the repair of their home. A bunch of us are kicking in to help where we can. These were in his garage. Trying to see what I should ask for them. Every penny helps. I'm really not familiar with these vintage tools but figured maybe some of you guys would be. Thank you.
1) First is a set of Russel Jennings auger bits. Also a few Irwins in there as spares and 3 adjustable bits with spare inserts. An extension, and 3 more that were not in the case, as well as a long "shipwright" bit. Some look like they were never used. These all have the diamond type shaft for a hand brace.

2) Full set of brand new vintage spade bits. Still wax coating on the tips. One still has packaging that looks to be circa "long ass time ago". Also couple of spares.

3) Set of vintage Milwaukee Forstner bits. Hex shanks. Again all have wax covering still on them. Sizes 2 9/16" to 1 1/4".

4) Set of hex/round shank auger bits made by Milwaukee. Sizes 1 1/2" to 3/4" with a couple of doubles and a 3/4 "shipwright" bit, a long shaft 3/4 and a 3/8. Most have the new wax coating on the heads.

I realize they are not going to retire on the money from selling these but all these little things add up and they need all the help they can get. I guess the question I'm asking is what would you guys sell these for? Again thanks for any help.
