::welcome:: to AAPK. Glad you found our site. If you are asking whether or not you can sell the stones here we have an advertising forum in the knife commerce section that you can list them under. If you have other items to sell you can actually start a store here. Details can be found on the home page.

I'm no expert, but I would say yes. To find market value I would search completed listings on ebay. There are two being auctioned currently starting bid is 20 bucks. A posting of pics would be great.

Welcome, jeffmoore.

What are the dimensions of the stones?

Jeff - welcome to the forum! We have had a few threads devoted to sharpening stones. Regarding the value - I would not get my hopes too high. I have got some very nice wood boxed Arkansas stones off Ebay for $15 to $30. I have no specific knowledge of the value of Buck Stones. How about a photo or two with the dimensions?

There are folks who collect sharpening stones and others who use them but like having several. (I think I'm in the latter category.)

If you're interested in selling them I'm sure some of the folks here would like a shot at buying them.
