Used tyres? Would anyone seriously consider buying any?

Right, just thought I'd throw this question at yah, I think I may know the answer already but second opinions are always reassuring.
Some of you may have already seen a few of my postings about my recent purchase of a set of wheels, these however came with a set of tyres which are of no use to me, the thing is that they are in very very good condition with lots and lots of tread and seems a waste to bin them or for someone else to make a profit out of them so I was thinking if I would be able to sell them myself.
Two are Nankangs and the other two are an unknown brand, they are 205/45/16 and like I say have a lot of tread left, I'm not expecting much, may be a fiver a piece, do you think this would be of interest to anyone? and if so, where should I advertise them...would there be any come back should they blow-out with the new owner?
The reason I ask is that, personally speaking I wouldn't buy second-hand tyres myself as these are the only parts touching the road and I don't want to be taking any risks...
