Feel for you Ian, hope its not financial pain...
Buyers come and go with their specific interests. As you are a good turner you will (or can) convert these into lovely bowls with higher value. You know the figure and potential in them but from photos others can't. I suggest you sand or plane some off the surface to show clean surface ie beauty underneath. Or maybe turn part of one into a bowl to show the beauty inside?
Lack of interest may be because buyers consider them overpriced (based on size, specie & presentation), you can try reduce the price in stages until you reach your lower limit, then withdraw them. Just my advice for what its worth.

Too much wood? No such thing many say. "Nice problem to have" is right!
Yep, I've enjoyed that feeling myself for many years but eventually it must end and the "grand divestment" (my term) must begin.
Your have been stockpiling some fantastic woods. Keen to see what you make with them.

Very nice mate.
Mostly WA woods tho' (not the Red Gum, like those you're selling) EXCEPT the last one. Is that typical of the slabs you were selling?
So, I stick to what I said ... clean up some of the Red Gum (Forest Red Gum I assume) slabs and
review your pricing (based on what similar slabs sell for) and
post with an example of what turners can expect
Cheers and good luck mate
