I'd have to be honest and say this stuff isn't worth all that much.

 

- The 520ST is quite probably the earliest model ST. Half a meg of RAM, no internal floppy, no RF modulator. If coming with the whole lot, this would be a throwaway item.

- The 1040ST isn't pictured, but I'll assume it's the standard with internal double-sided, double-density 3.5" drive and 1 meg of memory. This would be the "user" machine; the one you'd keep.

- The SF354 drives are pretty well useless. Single-sided as they are, no one really wants a 360k drive.

- The SF314 is the keeper; a double-sided 720k drive capable of reading double-sided disks.

- I can see one SC1224 colour monitor there, but can't make out the other one, so I'll assume it's an SM124 (12" mono) monitor. Both of these are useful at least; the SC1224 being for low and medium res apps and games, and the SC124 for high resolution apps.

- Copied disks aren't saleable as software, considering they're all pirated; they'd have to be a free extra or billed simply as "floppy disks" (not necessarily with anything on them) just in case there are any legal issues.

- The SX212 modem is more or less a paperweight. It's 1200 baud, can't automatically disconnect, and that Omron line switch inside has a tendancy to be the first thing to die. (Once it's dead, the modem can't pick up the line)

- The Syncro-Express would be useful I suppose between the 1040's internal drive and the SF314. Again, pointless with the SF354s.

 

The fact that much of it is boxed will help fetch a little better price, but to be honest I doubt you'll get much of a pile for the lot.
