I recently acquired a bunch of tools from an estate sale. I am keeping some stuff but don't do any machining, so would like to ebay or craiglist some of the machinist tools. Unfortunately I don't even know what some of these things are. Any help?
What are these tools?

They aren't particularly valuable (unless you have the right equipment and need that particular size). Machinists tend to collect them in their tool box over their career. Generally they need sharpening.
I have quite a few of each of the different varieties show there, some used and some new. Maybe I will try selling the used together as a lot and the new individually.

I literally have boxes of them from my aircraft career, pretty much worthless. they are a wear item, most people do not want.
This one I actually identified, just posting because I think it's cool. It's a Thomas & Betts 40 ton hydraulic crimping tool. That big orange thing is an electric motor/10,000 psi hydraulic pump, which connects to the crimping tool on the right.

My guess is that it's a bushing reamer. The end guides the reamer through the center of the bushing.
#1 reamer
Second and third from the right are counterbore's, used for recessing a surface so a socket head cap screw is then flush with the surface. The unsharpened end is a pilot to follow a predrilled hole, generally used in a drillpress.
4, 5 & 6 are endmills.
7 & 8 may also be counterbore's but intended for use in a machinetool.
9 might be some type of form cutter but not seeing how it's sharpened i'm not sure.
