It's worth what you will accept for it for a true price search the for sale ads as the replies here will be very cheap if they want to buy it or very high from traders lol

The motors almost certainly won't work, as said above. The output shafts will have seized in the long bush that the motors are mounted by.
They are easy enough to dismantle, clean, grease and reassemble, and will be worth considerably more if you guarantee that they work, and haven't broken anything while refurbing them.
The motors are protected electrically from burning out while seized, and out of the many that I've repaired, I've only had to bin one, which had leaked water into it somehow, that had completely rusted away the metal case of the motor.
