The photo is not clear enough to be certain about authenticity but the beads lined up vertically in three lines all look like they are quite likely to be good. Prices vary a lot depending on how you sell them, one by one or as a lot. The large single eye Dzi in the middle if it is real is worth a lot, easily in excess of $800. The other brown Chung Dzi would be worth a fair bit too anywhere from $80-$500 each depending on size quality damage etc.
The etched Carnelians with the zig zag line, second top row look good for authenticity, I have seen this style bead coming from Northern Pakistahn/Afghanistan. They could probably get $100 a piece for these too.
That's my opinion based on selling them as individuals pieces at full retail.
Once again size and details like damage, patina etc can make a large difference so it is difficult to be accurate based on the picture you provide. Maybe take photos of the beads in smaller groups. A phone camera will get a good shot if you have one, they take pretty good close up pictures if you have a steady .
