If they're worth something to somebody, I guess I ought to be hanging on to them.

Some very valuable electric guitars used them as the OEM caps. The application only has a few mV- maybe a volt across the caps. So even ones that would smoke your TVs flyback will do the job in a guitar...On a $700 restoration of a $5K guitar 60 bucks for the correct original type caps that give the correct sound is nothing...At least to that market.
