Hello,
The legal requirements of the Depository program
(http://www.fdlp.gov/component/docman/doc_download/1984-legal-requirements-and-program-regulations-of-the-federal-depository-liibrary-program),
which replaces the Federal Depository Library Handbook, states:
"Tangible depository publications supplied to depository libraries are
Federal government property. Depository
publications must be retained and kept accessible for at least the
minimum retention period. Materials may only be
disposed of through appropriate withdrawal mechanisms. These include:
1. ‘Five-year rule’: a minimum retention period of five years from date
of receipt, processing, or shipping list date
(for selective libraries),
2. Supersession (for all libraries),
3. Tangible substitution for tangible publications (for all libraries), and
4. Official online substitution for tangible publications (for selective
libraries)."
Given that these probably came through the Depository Library Program
(or some other Federal Depository Program), I am not sure that it is
legal to sell these, as they are still technically Federal Property. If
the library has proof that they were purchased or received from a donor
who purchased them, then they would probably be able to sell them.

Colleagues, a near-by college is running out of room and is interested
in selling some 300 USGS state atlases, published from the 1890s to the
1920s—obviously multiples. We are not interested as we have them for all
states, although these might be in better shape than ours. Not sure what
price they would ask for an atlas…
Failing that, do any of you know reputable vendors that would be
interested in selling these atlases?
Thank you for any insights you can share.
