Canister filters

Are canister filters used that often anymore? What I mean by this is the following. I have the opportunity to buy a 120g with everything and I wanted to sell the two canister filters that came with it. Is there a market for them? What amount of depreciation comes along with them?

For refference:
FilStar XP4 canister filter
Fluval 404 Canister filter

These are the two I am looking to get rid of if I buy this tank.

Just took mine off my reef tank. Elevated nitrates and too much to maintain on a reef in my opinion though many use them successfully. Was using for carbon, etc. It will be goin on my freshwater tank at work and i will use a small hob powerfilter for carbon.
