I agree with Aaron's assessment, well presented they should get $1500 - $2000 if you're willing to take your time. Both of those bikes are VERY desirable and you will want to get top dollar for them. In order to do so you will need to spend some time and money on them; throughly cleaned and any obviously worn out components replaced. If you are unfamiliar with vintage bicycle maintenance, a forum member near you may be able to help you out. Where are the bikes located?

A Galmozzi that looks very similar to yours was recently for sale on eBay and received no bids with a start of $2190. The bike looked clean and well maintained but the photographs weren't very complimentary for a bike at that level IMO. Another issue to consider is the time of year you offer it for sale. If selling locally or on eBay, you may get a larger pool of interested people in the spring or summer; although with bikes of this level of collectability it may not matter.
