My first thought was 'maybe the 800 MHz antennas are worth something at a ham swap meet, forget the 1900 MHz antennas'.

But I looked on ebay. New 1900 MHz antennas are worth a lot. But you can't test them (unless you find a ham with the right equipment to somehow verify that the antenna is still in some sort of working shape).
