Please help me identify, date and value my Yamaha drumset

Hi,

I have a Yamaha drumset which I bought second-hand about 10 years ago. I now want to sell pieces of it, because for the kind of music I now play (and also for the flat I live in and the car I drive, let alone the money I earn), it is ridiculously oversized (6 toms). I want to sell 4 of the 6 toms, but I have no idea what kind of toms they are, how old they are and what they are worth.

Here are the type codes and serial numbers of all the pieces I own:
  • Bass-Drum 22"x14" White BD-922GA IX
  • Tom 10"x8" White TT-910GA JN
  • Tom 12"x8" White TT-912GA IX
  • Tom 13"x9" White TT-913GA IX
  • Tom 14"x10" White TT-914GA IN
  • Tom 15"x12" White TT-915GA JN
  • Floor-Tom 16"x16" White FT-916GA IX
According to Yamaha's Drum Vault, those are 9000GA Winter White Birch pieces, and according to simbe's great dating guide, those are from October, 1982 and July, 1983, respectively.

Is that correct?

What kind of drumset is the 9000GA and how does it compare to the 9000RC Recording Custom?

I want to sell the 10", 13", 14" and 15" toms. What would they be worth, roughly?

Here's a couple of pictures (note: the pictures are cropped, to see them in full, visit my Flickr set):

There's a set with a couple of more pictures on my Flickr account: http://flickr.com/photos/jwmittag/sets/72157624133743372/

Thank you all very much in advance for your help!
