Found these digging through discount postage. No gum on the back - washed off, I guess.

I found the same color shifted stamps, but with original gum and as a plate block, on ebay for sale for $125.

Not sure how reasonable that is, so I'm hoping you guys have some suggestions for what to do. Are these actually worth something?

Color shifts are very, very, very common on that stamp. The shift would have to be extremely big to be worth anything more than minimal value.

I go along with Partime if only for the following reason: If you find it for sale on ebay keep checking for a while. Most of the time you will find it does not sell at that price, indicating that the price is too high.

Yeah, it sounded pretty ridiculous - I mean, it's not immediately super obvious and eye-catching. It's just kind of messy. What would be a reasonable starting price, do you think, if I were to put it up for ebay auction?
