Got myself full MS-DOS 5.0 & Windows 3.1 sets

A few months ago I got my hands on a complete, boxed MS-DOS 5.0 (Pic1, Pic2) and a Windows 3.1 (Pic1, Pic2). They've both got their instruction manuals, all disks (w/sleeves), the Windows has its serial number (DOS doesn't. Did it need one..?) and it goes without saying that they're on 5.25" floppies. The DOS says it's for Magitronic Computers. It all seems to be in pretty great (used) condition.

I've never really been one for vintage technology/PC stuff, but I thought I'd show off while simultaneously probing if these are worth anything (since I'll probably sell them). Any info/thoughts/opinions is welcome :)
 
No key needed at least for me. Started with dos 4, then 5 and 6. Still have it and 95 OSR2, and 98 2nd edition. Check Ebay. One of those things i refused to get rid of. Don't know why. Being original might be worth something though to someone. Getting the windows to work will be another adventure. Nothing automatic then and likely not work with the newer stuff out there. Including many of the drives.

Yeah, collecting vintage/old stuff isn't really my thing mostly, so I figured I'd see if there was a market for these among collectors or something.
 
I've got a digital copy of 3.1 I've tossed in a virtual machine for laughs. Brings me back to the elementary school days of using those all-in-one IBM PC's.
