How to find out how much other people are asking for them:

Don't want to keep them in the family after all these years?
Niagara Cycle Works can hook you up with new tires for about $5 a piece and low prices on anything else you might need for them. Would also look nice with DayTrekker panniers from Nashbar.
Kind of late to the party but those are great links. I've go my eyes on some Sprites.
