Peavey Black Widows - worth repair/sell?

I have a couple of Peavey 18" Black Widow 4 ohm speaker chassis that came out of their UL-118 bass bins. They don't work, so presumably need reconing/fixing.
Anyone know if it's worth doing, or alternatively if they're worth anything to someone who may be able to do it? I'd prefer to just move them on if poss, assuming it would be economically viable for someone to repair them?
Any help much appreciated, cheers.

They are good speakers and they are an especially easy repair, you just bolt the old magnet onto a new speaker basically. Unfortunately the repair kit is a new speaker without a magnet and is priced accordingly, you can often pick up cabs with working speakers in for less than the price of the repair. Having said that I've seen broken BW's going for silly money on ebay.

They are a good speaker and the repair means they are as good as new but you can buy a new speaker from Fane/Eminence for a similar price to the repair. I'd repair if I had a cab I wanted to fix as the cab would match the speaker but otherwise I'd look elsewhere.
