You can just sell them for much more than buying multiple other more modern saddles would cost.
I don't get statements like this. How much trouble can it be to put the saddle on the bike, adjust it's position, rub on a thin coating of Proofide (it's usually provided), and ride it for 6 mo before you should Proofide it again? Just don't let it get soaked. Do you want your bike's bearings to get wet and gritty? If not, then protect the whole bike from the rain.
I definitely agree with Rekmeyata - no person or company has more experience with the Brooks saddle design than Brooks themselves. The easy way to go is just do what Brooks said works best. If you just don't like the saddle or its not going to match up for you, just do what you would have to do if it was a Specialized or Fizik or whatever: take it off and get something else. Sell it, trade it, donate it, or trash it. It's your saddle.
