Pretty worthless -- but I would be happy to take them off your hands for one dollar. 
Seriously, it's a pretty rare item and illiquid market for them. Depends on whatever the next guy is willing to pay and how long you're willing to shop them around.

OK, two dollars. Anyone know what kind of spring rating we're talking about here? 200#? 300#? Front? Rear? Do the rears fit factory Koni coilovers or are they Bilsteins? What is the meaning of life? Does it really matter that Pluto is not the last planet?
Kidding aside, rare as they may be, I expect that their value is determined by the universality of their fitment. Given the various updates on front struts between 86 and 89 and the differences between M030 cars and their unoptioned bretheren, there may be a relatively small number of 944's out there for which these springs would be bolt-ons.
OK, three dollars.

Four dollars!
I actually got a front pair a year ago -- came with struts, sways, and tbars, so I'm not sure what the springs alone would have cost me. The notes I have says 80-410# progressive ($600+ new from Porsche). I know nothing about the rear springs, however... I have them on my street car and they feel rather mild -- probably because of their progressive nature.
BTW, they mount to directly to TurboS struts w/o modification.
And the meaning of life? The answer is 42.

Cool! Turbo S strut bolt-up raises my bid to five smackerels and a jar of grandma's preserves. Will return once I ponder the deeper meaning of 42.

HHMMMMM - all four???
please post a pic of the rears.
I sold a set of koni cups to a guy in CA - they were VERY nice for the street/track.
Maybe the rears you have are 968 MO30 barrel helpers (for koni sport), which work very well with those progressive front springs.

Unfortunately, these are only of valuable to someone who can't purchase aftermarket springs (PCA Historic, etc.). Interesting find though. I paid $75 for my set of M030 spring, still shrink wrapped from the factory. These would likely fetch money in line with the aftermarket items. ~$150
