    You could try a few plumbing contractors - to see if they might want to buy your valves. Not sure where you are located but there are all sorts of smaller classifieds around, both on the 'net and even the free print papers--all worth considering.

    Not sure that the 1-1/2" ones are going for $200 unless you are looking at the big box store prices. A quick look at eBay suggested they go for more like $25 each but you also need to compare quality--a lot of valves are Chinese quality and cheap but there are others that are US quality and command a much better price.



    It looks like you have three 1-1/2" ball valves, one x 1-1/4 or 1" ball valve, three 1" gate valves and a 1-1/2" swing check valve. Oh, and a big toe!! ;>)

    The size should be cast into the valve body-I'm guessing on some of the sizes. The pressure rating will usually be on the valves as well--it will read something like "150 wog" which is short for "150 psi, water, oil or gas (service)"

    Hope this helps!

    Jon.
