Would these likely sell?

Hi everyone, I've decided to get rid of what I could stand to part with, to increase my budget for a scabbard made alongside a custom sword in the very near future. I'm not sure if these are really worth anybodies time here, and if its even worth shipping. If not, I could try to throw them up on craigslist or attempt dumping them at a pawnshop
First up is a Musashi katana: imgur.com/a/z0k0dbA
Gotta be a decade old now. it has a little bit of rust along the spine, and near the habaki on one side. Seppa and Habaki have obvious play when pinched and shifted, but there is no rattle when striking the air. The handle and many of the alloyed fittings have aged quite a bit. The grip appears to have been glued on, as I found out when I stupidly cut the cordage to take off the pommel/koshira and check if this sword was full tanged. Still sharp, never used for anything but the paper test.
Next up is a shinai from E-bogu: imgur.com/a/1BthBj7
Gently toyed with, never made hard contact with anything. I think 37", but I'll have to recheck. Basically super good condition minus the darkening/discoloration of the leather handle-wrap. Also nearly a decade old at this point, but well cared for. Definitely ask your dojo/instructor for inspection first if you wanted to bring it in for use.
Next up is a horrendous rip-off of a Tom Brown tracker knife; imgur.com/a/8HHImDW
complete with Stainless Steel and a BudK logo stamp. Its sharp, at least. Has a fracture in the handle near the rivet. Bottom half is not sharp, as seen by "half-sword" grip in pictures. (Half-knife? ;P)
Please let me know if these are likely to be of any interest to anybody in the near future- and it get this all set up in the Market Place proper. Thanks for reading.
