Default Pricing on tanks??????

I am thinking of selling my tanks in order to pay for a Drum Corps i am involved with, but i am not sure if the profit i would make would be worth all the sentimental value it holds (but, yes there is a price on it >.&lt. I am just about clueless when it comes to the pricing of used setups. Can anyone give me an estimate? Here is what i have:

55 gallon all glass aquarium (black trim) w/ custom made oak stand, 1 Whisper PF-60 HOB filter, 1 Marineland Visi-Therm 200w heater, and two 24'' florescent lights, and obviousaly two glass covers.

29 gallon all glass aquarium (balck trim) w/ green metal stand, 1 aquaclear 1200 filter, 1 150w heater (not submersiable), and a cover.

39 gallon all glass aquarium (wood colored trim) w/ custom made oak stand, 1 aquaclear 300 filter, 1 tronic submersible heater 200w, an all glass cover and a 30'' florescent light.

20 gallon long all glass aquarium (black trim) w/ a wood stand, 2 cascade 100 power filters, 1 proquatics 75w submersiable heater, and an all glass cover.

20 gallon all glass aquarium (wood trim) w/ a black metal stand, 1 cascade 100 power filter, 1 75w hang-on-side heater and a glass cover.

two 10 gallons both all glass aquariums with black trim, niether have a stand, both have glass covers and one has a florescent light, both have Dynaflo 10 Filters, and 50w non submesiable heaters.

Decor:
-over 65lbs of various colored gravel (balck, white, brown, purple, blue)
-1 piece of 24'' driftwood
-1 20'' tall grey tree root decoration
-2 large aquarium safe pots
-1 small aquarium safe pot
-2 6'' plastic plants
-2 8'' plastic plants
-3 12'' plastic plants
-5 16'' plastic plants

What drum corps? I am from Rockford home of the Phantom Regiment.

In this area you can figure about 2 bucks a gallon for a used tank. Plants, gravel, heaters and ornaments dont add any value. Filters, and lights you can try to get 1/2 to 2/3 new value.
The reason heaters dont hold any value is because it is hard to find out how much life they have left in them.
