Well, he did say “great condition,” rather than “never fished.” Which, especially from someone who says he has never fly fished, may not mean a lot.
So, back to the requested advice, if you’re going to sell through the internet, pictures you can post are going to be very important. Especially detail on rod markings, reel seats, grips, ferrules, etc., and the tubes and socks. Condition matters to buyers.
That said, I suspect you’d be very lucky to get an average of $100 a rod. The Fenwick fly rods are good, and welll regarded here, but even if one breaks $100 it only is offset by a spinning rod at $75, or less.
So if you thought you might get a decent used car out of these, It’s unlikely. My usual advice - if you’re at all interested in fishing - is to use them for that. The FF755 and F756 should be good for trout and panfish, and the five piece FF858-5 could be a fun travel rod for bass, etc., and I’d certainly try the spinning rods before passing them along. You can always sell them later.
EDIT: And I just saw whrlpool’s post, but since I’d already written this, I’ll leave it, instead of just saying “ditto.”
