4 GP9 2" Platinum tapes, Ampex 456 1/4" and 1/2", and 2 Ampex 2" 456 for sale

I have 4 metal reels of GP9 Grand Master Platinum Studio Master 2" tape.(2001) in boxes
I have 2 metal reels of Ampex 456 Studio Mastering Tape 2" (1990s) in boxes
I have 2 reels of Ampex Grandmaster 456 - one is 1/4", one is 1/2" (1983) in boxes
I have 1 reel of 3M 996 Audio Mastering Tape 1", in plastic case (1983)
all are 10 1/2 inch reels. Only one has splices - I think it's the 1/2".

They have been very well kept - my master tapes. At this point, I'd rather re-record these albums.
So what are they worth to people? Or where do you suggest I offer them for sale?
I'm in Colchester, Vermont.
Thanks for any responses!

Someone wants the 4 reels of GP9, but now is out of touch...so I'm not sure if those are still available ($65 each plus shipping), but the two reels of 2: Ampex 456 are still available, and they are from Alabama, so they should not have SSS. I'll be happy to send any numbers from the reels and boxes themselves, if anyone wants them! Someone has advised that the 1/4 and the 1/2 456 tapes are not promising, and neither are the ones from the 1980s.
But, they've been well kept and the reels are worth something even without the tape. Any offers? With paypal, this could all happen very promptly!
All have been well kept, away from light, and from high or low temperatures. Thank you.
