Would depend greatly on their content - whether the negs you've posted there are mere family photos or celebrated people. Any idea of who took them / their origins ?

Only way I would buy them is if I wanted to keep them myself !!  And then would give very little !!  Not much way to use a negative except to pay to have it printed yourself !!~

50 of them sold for $50 total, if they do not have some historical value, I would only purchase it if I was personally interested in the item.

I took a look at the auction - nice images but a large proportion have damage. I'm no expert but wouldn't pay the price being asked, unless it was something I REALLY wanted.

I had a small lot of these which sold for $25, which ended up being about $1 a piece. They are interesting collectibles, though not of much use these days. They did sell pretty quickly though, so I perhaps could have got a little more for them.
