Found them in a storage locker just wondering the value! Both have great tread And are in amazing shape
The 24” with the blue rim is a sun. It’s an entry level uni. Used probably worth $20-40. I learned to ride on a 24” sun classic although mine is a bit older.
The other one is a bit nicer. Probably from the 2000s. Nicer build but that looks like it still uses square taper cranks and hub so not good for hardcore mountain riding. I’d say something like $50-100

The one with the chunky tyre is most comparable to what is now the Club Beginner Muni, but from around a decade ago.
Very nice condition for its age (has it even been used at all?), but probably not worth loads as being square taper limits the abuse it can take somewhat. That style of saddle is also far less desirable these days - they got much better in the years since.

Is it an optical illusion or do those cranks look really long?
As someone who rode a 29 UDC trainer for many years and logged several thousand miles on it and then a UDC 32 Titan also with square tapers I can attest there is nothing wrong with square tapers for general riding and they certainly are perfect for beginners. I don’t know if you are a rider or just someone looking for pricing advice. My thoughts are and have been, rather than selling these for $25 - $50 give them to kids that will learn to ride them and have fun. If you are in the business of buying storage lockers and selling the contents I’m afraid your return on these guys will be minimal.

160s or 165s would not have been that uncommon for cranks when these were new.

That’s great to hear!
Don’t be afraid to cut the seatpost down on the Nimbus one if that would enable them to ride it.
If they stick with unicycling and outgrow whatever length you cut it down to then a new seatpost isn’t that much money.

depending on where you are in the world, but for usa, checking marketplace and craigslist for prices… used unicycles don’t sell for all that much…
got a slick Sun for $20? several Schwinns in the $10-40 ball parks, a nimbus giraffe 5-7 foot for $150, i see many others for $10-50; anything over $100 gets my attention “because why”.
unicycle.com sold a LOT of unis in my area (couple schools teach), so there’s a lot of “my kid used to ride, but now does not”…
good luck!
Just peeked at a few listings in my area: Two 20" Sun unicycles much like yours selling for $30 and $35, a Jugglebug (I think that’s what it’s called… I’ll just say it’s a uni with a 5 spoke mag wheel) for $20, and a Torker 20" Unistar for $100
