Its hard to tell with the oriental items what people will pay for them, things at auction that I've had an estimate of 100-200 go for wayyyyy over 4000. The orientals apparently are buying all their items back through liveauctioneers.com, I would suggest bringing them to an auction house that uses liveauctioneers, that is if you'd like to get rid of them. :)

Carved Asian items like this can be quite valuable, or forgeries. I think you are going to need to take it to a knowledgable person who can do a hands-on evaluation.
