They seem to be in decent nick, particularly the Brooks B72s, but no takers so far (or at least the ads are still up).
Looks like the seller went to a lot of work to highlight the bikes to their best advantage with several photos each without actually doing anything to make them more appealing or worth a few more bucks to any prospective buyers. Like an ad I saw for a barn find full-size '60s Pontiac that had been dragged into a spotless garage for the photoshoot.
