    They are developer tools to help program for the Windows platform.
    Some can be expensive, but I'm not sure if you're allowed to sell them.

    ASFAIK, These aren't allowed to be resold. Their licenses are non transferrable.

    I don't think you'll get much interest from them here, most people use the online MSDN databases now.

    MSDN is a subscriber service, you pay the annual subs and MS send members all their latest software to test with your own programs, hardware, whatever. With membership many people think it's a bargain, especially if you have several PCs in the house, as you get a legal copy of each OS. Without membership it's worth no more than a handful of pirate CDs. :duh:

    sounds more to me like someone (not necessarily you) stole these and is trying to guess their worth. Just my 2p.
