What to do with a large Craigslist lot...help please!

Hi all! *sigh* I'm needing some help. I was looking for Legos for my boys for Christmas. I ran across an ad on my local Craigslist for over 30 sets , mostly Star Wars sets without mini figures. The poster stated that she didn't know if the sets were complete, but that she just went through the X-Wing and it was 99% there. She was asking $150 for the lot. Hubby and I decided to purchase it and we drove the hour down there to pick them up. We got them home and began to go through them. Low and behold, most of the Star Wars sets are missing a major chunk of their builds. (For example, most ships are missing at least one wing.) I am at a loss of what to do. We had purchased these with the intent of giving them to our boys (we have 5 boys) for christmas after putting them back together, but they're so far from complete that its not worth while. And on top of that...one of the sets is is almost complete has been...kraggled together with superglue. I am not a Lego reseller, so I have no clue what to do. We've put $150 into this lot, but I don't know how to not take a loss on it, let alone have something for my boys for Christmas. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Here's a list of sets that were included (though how complete they are... :( ) 7256-1 Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid 7255-1 General Grievous Chase 7250-1 Clone Scout Walker 5994-1 Catapult 8668-1 Side Rider 6212-1 X-wing Fighter 6208-1 B-wing Fighter 6206-1 TIE Interceptor 6205-1 V-wing Fighter 7656-1 General Grievous Starfighter 7655-1 Clone Troopers Battle Pack 7009-1 The Final Joust 4939-1 Cool Cars 7737-1 Coast Guard 4WD & Jet Scooter 5618-1 Troll Warrior 5615-1 The Knight 8970-1 Robo Attack 8961-1 Crystal Sweeper 8256-1 Go-Kart 8164-1 Extreme Wheelie 8036-1 Separatist Shuttle 8015-1 Assassin Droids Battle Pack 8014-1 Clone Walker Battle Pack 6747-1 Race Rider 6743-1 Street Speeder 5972-1 Container Heist 8188-1 Fire Blaster 8084-1 Snowtrooper Battle Pack 8060-1 Typhoon Turbo Sub 7571-1 The Fight for the Dagger 5867-1 Super Speedster
