Advice needed

Hey guys, these photos are fairly average but were the best I could do, I have checked the blades edges on all the straights and there's no cracks or over honed edges but they do need to be sharpened.
All the razors are $35 (australian dollars) except for the orange scaled straight.
Could you share your advice if any of these straights are worth while to purchase.

Thank you.
 
To my amateur eye, they actually look fairly decent. I don't see significant hone wear or any frowns (from what I can make out in the pics). A good polish and hone and I'd say you're off to the races! But lets see what the experienced guys say.
 
They look like whipped dog sight unseens and you can get them for $28 shave ready. Or the next steps are $40 but they will shave!

Great bargains they are not. Those prices are not robbery but sort of meh. My favorite would be the Wostenholm in the center of the first pic. The one on the right will hone up the easiest. If you got to get one, get one of those two. But better off getting one of Larry's Whipped Dogs at www.whippeddog.com or one of Buca's Gold Dollars, to go about it cheaply. Either way you get a razor already honed and ready to shave. Better yet, get two, maybe a vintage and a new one.
 
Talk him down to $15, or walk out the door. Decent looking straights, but need a fair bit of work to get in shave shape.
