What you'd get for your time is the knowledge that you didn't throw
functional components in the trash.
As far as how "desirable" they may or may not be...the fast-growing
world of electronics hobbyist doesn't base their component choices on
"would I design this into a new commercial product today" metrics.

Why on earth
would you toss it in any case? Functioning chips? Good
heavens man, at least give it away. Even ignoring the explosive growth
of electronics hacking in the past few years, I'm sure there's someone
who would use it for something.
Okay, let's call your bet. I've got perhaps 16 or 20 Fairchild
93L422 *new* bipolar RAMs in that funny 22 pin 0.400" wide package.
Blisteringly fast 45 nsec. (typ. but max. can get as bad as 80
nsec.) access time, 256x4 bit organization dissipating only, oh,
about a quarter-watt (if I have my math right) per package.
Who wants them enough to pay shipping for them? Who will offer
something additional for my time? I can't see me *ever* using these.
