Depends on condition & use

I told him that he could have them for $150 and he said that $120 was as much as he would give me. I'd have to turn in my Man Card to take his first offer after I came down, so I kept them.
Is $20 apiece a fair price for them?
I think it really boils down to what the intended buyer wants to do with them. You won't get top dollar on Craigslist. Most members of the public don't know the difference between Master & Medeco, and will look only at cost. I think there are plenty of padlocks out there of equivalent size that cost $10-15 tops at the big box store. That's with 2 keys each brand new. Medeco is worth more because it is orders of magnitude more secure than the common store padlocks. But for someone who knows the difference, your padlocks might be problematic if more than just 1 key is needed. Getting keys made might be impossible if these are a restricted keyway. I would pass on these if the cylinders had to be replaced or all of them rekeyed.
