My wife knows which bikes are worth the big bucks and we've talked about it. My niece and nephew each get one of their choice. The triplet goes to my sister, if she wants it...or gets donated to the local co-OP. The other bikes are her choice - she'd come here and ask for help. I know there are locals who would assist, and she'd compensate them. I told her if she doesn't feel like selling them, I'd want them donated to the co-OP with the understanding they'd be for their racing team and not sold.
I ended up donating four "project" bikes to a local coop last winter.
They didn't need very much work and they likely cleared $250 - $300 for each one.
I just saw one of them at our local farmer's market last weekend outfitted with newspaper racks and baskets.
Looked like a pack mule that was going to get a solid workout for the rest of its life.
Brought a smile to my face.
