but I have no idea what kind of price to go by. They are split level
and are made to sit in line with each other, but the bottom bunk can be moved around to go where ever. They were re-stained and varnished about 15 years ago, and have a large toy/storage box under the top bunk. Don't know what kind of wood they're made from, but it's pretty soft, and a light colour. I think they are considered antique. I am in Australia, anyone got any idea?

50 yrs would not qualify for antique, but would for 'old'.
Unfortunately, that means they aren't worth much. Old kid's beds are generally not a desired item. Also you need to check if they meet safety regulations. A lot of old bunks are quite dangerous, and most parents these days would not look at buying them for that reason.
Without a picture it's hard to estimate the value, but I wouldn't think you'd get much at all. If anything. You could try one of your local second hand stores for an appraisal (take a picture) or maybe try selling at auction.
Good luck.

Most items classified as antiques are 100+ years old. Check out the cost of a new set of bunk beds at Rooms To Go Kids. Then go the Craigslist or eBay and list them for sale. Take good quality photos and see if you can get someone to identify the wood they are made of....

Had some similar to that and was dismayed to find out they were only going for about 25-50 dollars. Bunk beds dont seem too popular
