You can sell it all here; https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/
Without knowing the brands and condition etc, it's going to be next to impossible to give an evaluation.
Not wanting to take the time to test everything is also going to massively hurt any kind of value retainment and will put 99% of people off.
Working RIFs are typically 60 - 70% of their retail, boneyard guns could be anywhere from 30% - 50% depending on what's wrong with it - But that's really only when the buyer knows what they're getting.
Gear also typically follows the 60 - 70%.

For where to sell there's a well used classifieds section here. Just make sure you follow all the rules or your ad will go bye bye.
Unfortunately without knowing the make model or condition of anything giving an accurate appraisal is nigh on impossible and will put off the vast majority of buyers. Anyone not put off will assume they're cheaper models and more fucked than bonnie blue so offers will reflect this, afterall they're the one taking all the risk
Bundles don't tend to sell quickly either. You'd do better selling stuff individually

Prefired is fine, they only accept ads with proper timestamps. It's used-airsoft that's the problem.

Austeyr made a really key point. Without the buyer knowing what they're getting, you're only going to have so much leverage, even in selling for parts.
The G36C may be OK to sell in parts as there is a degree of compatible parts across the different brands of it as an AEG.
The M4/AR-15 derivatives could use a combination of proprietary gearbox casings and/or receiver to handguard mounting points that limit their compatibility with more regular parts. Unless you can name the specific models or at least the brands to give some hint of parts compatibility, you're looking at the lower end of value in parts.
That AR with the partial buffer tube and exposed Deans terminal has a lot of rust on the front takedown pin, dust cover and the spring along with a huge amount of what looks like zinc rust both on the lower and inside inside the magwell. I can only speculate on the internals as you haven't given much info but that gun looks like something I'd expect to be either donated to a tech for a project build or sold in a boneyard box of "all items in this box for £20 each" (or even less) at a boot sale.
I wouldn't rely on boneyard pricing from retailers, they tend not to shift quickly because they're already overpriced.

I can only reiterate what has already been said but IMO the rifs & the kit look rough, that may be deliberate but even the clothing looks like it's never seen a washing machine. IMO you're making zero effort to sell your stuff & should expect lowball offers at best. It doesn't take much effort to add some details that will result in some kind of offer.

Well they are called lazynewt
One thing I did forget to ask/mention... Is any of the ATACS-Au stuff "legit"?

The rails on the other black AR isn't attached either so if that's knackered it'll be worth ⅘ of fuck all

Use classifieds here, split them up and test em. That way you may get a few quid. Otherwise £50-£80 per gun and maybe £40 for gear so £190 - £280 if anyone is interested. IF you split en and test em yu could get £130 to £200 per gun, depending on what they are and how they work, if they don’t pac to £50 - £80.

I'd say even £50 is generous per gun as boneyard because a buyer is taking so much risk in not knowing what they're buying what it will cost to put them right and if "standard" parts will fit. I see no reason to give the benefit of the doubt that they're more expensive products or in reasonable working order, particularly because the seller has openly said they're "not interested in testing".
