They aren't Parkers. The middle one could potentially be some sort of Sheaffer. Prelude? When you take a photo of a pen for identification you should show the clip and the nib from the front (top) as that makes it slightly easier to identify.

Unless you can read to us what the nib says, we can't help you.
Higher tier Parker pens will always have PARKER on the nibs.
Chrissy may be correct that the middle one is a modern Sheaffer, but I can't read SHEAFFER on the nib, so I'm not sure.
The first (left-most) is a generic pen with a generic nib, the third (right-most) could be a brand name, but unless it says 585 or 14K on the nib, it's not worth much also.

The left and right pens might be worth $5.00 total. The middle pen looks like a fake Sheaffer but I hope I'm wrong about that. None are Parkers.

I believe the pen on the right is from a short lived Chinese pen company called Jaguar. It is very similar to one I picked up on Temple Street night market in Hong Kong for HK$7 (about US$1) at the time. It lasted a few months as a pen before bits started to unscrew themselves. It may have some value as the source of a brass tube, which could be put to some useful purpose.
Left is I believe an early version Waterman Hemisphere, 2nd is a Sheaffer Prelude, 3rd no idea but could be sheaffer judging by the clip on the cap.

Sorry to disagree but the pen on the left wasn't made by Waterman although it looks similar to a copy of that model. Waterman nibs don't say Iridium Point Germany on them as they were made in France. There is much doubt about the middle pen being a Sheaffer too as it doesn't have a Sheaffer nib.

The one on the right looks like a Creeks. They're pretty common in France where they were a favoured school pen - 1990s or 2000s I think. They pop up at sales all the time. Some have a "cigar band" very similar to that on the Waterman Phileas.
