Should I sell these shoes at a rummage sale?

So this February I bought a pair of shoes at the thrift store. They were really crappy and the straps kept breaking off until i got fed up and just bought a new pair. The old pair was a strappy black pair of stacked 3 inch heels, my new pair is 3.5 inch stiletto pumps. Anyways, I cut the straps off the old shoes and after several failed attempts to put new straps on them, I've finally succeeded. Now the have a thick band around the toe, several inches wide because with all the thin delicate straps i tried my foot would just fall forward in the shoe. Also I have a wider foot so this is more supportive, because the shoe was meant for a more narrow foot. Then I have another thinner, but still thick strap strap to support the heel. So these shoes are probably not going to break because I used about half the spool of thread sewing them, but I'm not going to wear them anymore. I have no need. My friends and I were planning a rummage sale to raise money for this one thing for our school, and idk whether to sell them. My new shoes are way better and I don't wear heels many places anyways but I put a lot of time into these. (if you're wondering why I spent all that time fixing them, it's summer vacation and I was bored). I probably wouldn't get more than maybe $5 out of them but better than just sitting around my room for no reason.
