I recently sold a Vaio (with E-450 apu) for about $15, so yes it's worth it depending on the specs and the buyer's needs.

 

I sold it on shopee which is only for Asia, so I'm not sure where you could sell it safely. Facebook seems decent enough, though.

I have maybe 30 laptops from 15 years ago, are theses worth selling? If so what is the best way to go about  it?

In the states I used Letgo, Facebook marketplace, and Craigslist back when I refurbed machines destined for ewaste. Depending on the specs and condition of the machine, what you may earn from it varies, but generally there are people out there who just need a machine for browsing the web, and as long as it powers on and does that you may be able to sell it.
