I don't know about the others, but Ercol stuff is generally very saleable.
My parents downsized a few years ago and so had a couple of tatty Ercol armchairs going spare which they were going to dump. The webbing was knackered and the cushions tired. On eBay, I got £170 the pair and the collector was delighted with them. Not bad seeing as they'd come from the local charity shop originally.
Similarly, a c.1980 Ercol 2-seater sofa, also a charity shop find, though in very good condition, became surplus to requirements when we had the kitchen door moved, and got me £360 (much to my wife's astonishment!).
