What are subwoofers and satelite speakers worth?

I had a Logitech z560 speaker set which went bad on me. The speakers started making popping noises then one day one of the speakers just exploded in static and the subwoofer went nuts....it was like pumping out full base then nothing then full again...and this happend even when the speakers we not connected to the computer. After leaving them sitting for a while the speakers seemed to work fine but the subwoofer would start to act up after I used them a bit. So I contacted Logitech and got them to replace them. Well all I had to send in was the control box and they were going to send me the replacement (a new z5300 set since the no longer carry the z560s) However, they sent me a replacement z560 subwoofer (which doesn't look new - I'm guessing its a refurbished one). So I contacted them again and they sent me the proper speakers.

So now I have two z560s subwoofers and 4 satelite speakers. I have no idea what condition they are in...the ones that went bad on me would work sometimes but then the subwoofer would go crazy again after awhile. So the speakers themselves may be fine and I'm assuming the subwoofer they sent me works. Are these worth anything? It seems a shame to throw them all out but shipping on something like those is not going to be cheap cause they are so heavy. BUt I don't know if these are something that would sell...

ok how close are the satellite speakers to the sub? it could be causing interference, also do y ou have a cell phone or wireless internet, that could make them go crazy also. try locating them im a different part of the house.

Actually, now that you mention it the satellite speaker that was acting up was about a foot from the subwoofer. I had it set up in my dorm room and we also had a wireless router and a porterable telephone in the same room. I didn't think that would make a difference but maybe...However, its too late now to try anything because I already sent the control pod to logitech so I can't actually use them...hence why I am wondering about selling them.
