Really depends upon what you consider as valuable. On eBay they appear to be going for $35-50 each.

hrspla I have a few of the ore cars to use on my layout around some of the mines I have. I don't know that they are particularly valuable but are a nice small car. I think some of the DMIR MAYBE a little more collectable. I did see a Blur ATSF Ore car with a high asking price but I don't know the story on them.
I have the Silver K-Line CN ore car and the Blue K-Line Ontairo Northland ore car but I have an MTH Diesel Ontario Northland that I like to run with those Canadian Cars . Below is a picture of the CN and Ontario Northland ore cars. Which cars do you have?
When I asked to buy some ore cars on the forum for my mining short line two nice folks sent me nine for the shipping charge. So go figure. More companies made these little cars than any other model I think. They look a little strange with regular full scale cars but a string of them looks great. I think the cheapest ones are the early Atlas cars with the crappy plastic couplers. I have started repainting, lettering and weathering mine. This is the first one. Also my first try at weathering anything. I used good old Maui red dirt for the load. It's a copper mine they service. Don

Uh, no.
Don the free B's look good 
Don, you did a fine job. That ore car looks great. Keep up the good work.
The Klines have have a decent/correct shape but they sit too high on the trucks. The under frame needs to be cut so the car sits lower on the trucks.
The old Atlas cars are the nicest jennys out there. They have Kadee mounts, correct body and sit nice and low on the trucks.

Dave do you have any of the silver CN K-Line ore cars?
