Nothing wrong with through-hole - however, presumably the selection of chips was for a specific project, long since uncompleted. As they are 26 years old they are probably of little use now, and of little or no value.
Like anything else, things are only worth what someone is willing to pay, and finding someone interested in old chips is probably unlikely.
Disagree. They look like free samples still in the original Maxim plastic boxes. Maybe requested for a specific project, but more likely acquired for an unknown future project that never materialized.
BTW, not all carbon-impregnated forms were created equal. Over decades, some can actually dissolve component pins. Old TI foam still is good, while old RCA and Motorola foam is terrible.

Maybe List what they are ... i.e. LCD driver, 555 Timer, Step-Up switching controller, Decade Counter, 4-Digit presetable Up/Down counter, Hi performance Op Amp, UA Op-Amp
Still. for me, there isn't much I would use out of that these days, but someone else might.

Reality is harsh. Nobody has manufactured much of anything thru-hole for at least a decade. Useful for a prototype or in a hobbyist's junk box perhaps but expecting $7 for them is pretty unreasonable. I pitched my vast collection over the last three years.

Almost all our small scale manufacturing is through-hole - only parts that are SM only get used as SM parts. Hand building SM boards is too time consuming.
Our "Small scale manufacturing" products are part of packaging lines worldwide - anything you buy in sealed polythene bags such as frozen food has a good probability of being made on a machine that includes our polythene welding controllers. Also used for numerous varied things from bank cash bags to cold weather survival kits.
