The two Columbias, maybe $20 if you can find them saddles and make them rideable.

The other? Looks like it's been modified maybe? Missing a tube (see your first photo for reference). Might be some interesting parts on it, but I can't tell from the photo.

The middle one is a bike boom period Columbia. Say 1972. I'll go with $20-30.00 if you can make them rideable.
