This question is very confusing. Are you asking what those components are? They are resistors. Are you asking if they are rare or worth a bit of money? They aren't.
You probably didn't get an answer from the recycler because they may have thought you were trolling.
Try filling out the form http://www.digikey.com/en/resources...version-calculator-resistor-color-code-6-band Switch to the 4 and 5 band selector to read the values for the other ones. I could punch the values myself but the end result would be the same.
Do you happen to have any form of documentation for the underlying board? That should provide a reasonableness check for whatever values you get.
.....Whilst I understand the colour coding of resistors I don't understand a) how you know which way to read them i.e. from what end. Surely the resistors could be soldered either way round? And b) WHere some appear to have a gap where there would be a band are they 4 colour codes or are they 5 colour codes where one digit isn't expressed?
