WWII Memorabilia

Why aren't these aircraft sold?

I was recently look at satellite photos of davis-monthan AFB, and notice there are many fighter and bomber aircraft parked there that are still current aircraft in the AF and Navy's arsenal. Why are these are craft just sitting there doing nothing? Why aren't they being sold to other countries for something useful. The f-14 tomcat at $38mil a piece is a prime example.... It cost the taxpayers a billion dollars to have these aircraft just sit on the ground doing nothing???? These are current aircraft. I can understand the b-52's, because there is no reason to have that many aircraft with those capabilities in service anymore.
oh yeah and why are some aircraft there with nose tail and wings clipped and some sit intact?
