I have a few Gibson guitars that I don't know what they are or what they are worth. I'd like to get some cash/guns but i don't want to expect to much for them.

Depends where they were made (newer are made china, older les pauls are US).
They both say Made in USA on them. One i've been able to track down the make. Its a Les Paul VOS 1960 TV special Reissue.
But the other is unknown to me.
Made in USA is always good. What models are they? Finishes? Pickups?
If you find out one may be real valuable, make sure you get a second opinion (Gibson had this infuriating habit of recycling serial numbers).
Worth a few bucks...

Well in those ball parks do this.. clean up the necks a little... there are plenty of "recommended" cleaners out there. Pull the strings and do the clean up, then restring. Then take em' down to a Music-Go-Round (several in Denver not sure about CS) and they can give you fair appraisals of them. I'm better they are worth a bit more than you're thinking, but not the full price you show on either of those links.
Good luck with the sales, those are some nice classic guitars
My son says the easiest thing to do is call Gibson with ss#'s and e-mail them pics. They should be able to help with all questions. [Beer]
The first guitar appears to be a late-50's Les Paul Special in TV Yellow finish. Worth a bit if original.
The second guitar is a mid-70's L6-s See : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_L6-S. Carlos Santana endorsed them them before switching to Yamaha.
