I'd recommend finding someone you can loan them all to so that if you 
need/want anything in the future you can borrow it back.  And you will 
want something some time.  Kids, maybe?  Drinking buddy?
If you sell them you won't get anywhere what they are worth and there is 
likely to be anger at you from your future self.
