My advice, sell the following...
AF Nikkor 28-80 1:3.3-5.6G (F65)
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55 1:3.5-5.6 G VR (D50&D70)
AF-S Nikkor 18-70 DX ED 1:3.5-4.5G(D50&D70)
third party:
Sigma 28-105 1:3.8-5.6 UC III (F65-D50-D70)
Sigma 28-200 1-3.5-5.6 DL Hyperzoom Macro (with build in lens creep)(F65-D50-D70)
Tamron (Tammy)28-200 1.3.8-3.6 Macro (AF Aspherical XR)(F65-D50-D70)
And buy a Nikon 18-200 DX VR
I suspect that the two "macro" lenses are not true macros, so keep one if you must, but if you really want Mi(a)cro, get the Nikon 105 VR.
Lastly, if there is ever a chance you will move to full frame, I would suggest that you might want to keep either the Tamron or Sigma 28-200 if they are not DX/DC leneses.

So the 18-70 dx ed will not be sold i am not crazy , i would never forgive myself if i did
From what i read about the 18-200 vr from nikon is that not every body is happy with it , the quailty of the lens does not reach that of the 18-70 dx wich is far better than a average kitlens (i hate that K word) I believe that the tamron is a non dx / dc lens but i would have to investigate is to be shure .. the sigma was given free with the F65 because of the lens creep but still is a good and very solid lens. about the macro , both the lenses are not real macro lenses and per haps the 15vr from nikon could be a option.
the other lenses do not bring money on ebay or any other auction site .. most of them where bought realy cheap so i just keep them for that special occaisson if you getch my drift , anyhow thanks for your time and effort ..
