Inverted rows, for sure. And so many ways to do dips as well ab work. You can also tie bands around them for resistance work for arms and legs.

Or lie down through one, and use an underhand grip to do chin ups.
Or put your hands close together for close-grip push ups to hit your triceps.
or flip the down on to the side and space them about 1-2 feet apart and use them for agility training (as if you were using a ladder).
Like a PP said, they aren't a MUST have for any home gym, but they are more versatile than people are giving them credit for
A few more ideas that just popped into my head:
use it for balance to practice your pistol squats.
if adjustable, put it to a lower level, and put it behind put one foot on the bar (top of the foot) for Bulgarian split squats.
Or maybe a burpee variation. put it down on the side. Burpee down and grab the bar. Stand up and raise bar to overhead.
Since they were free, I wouldnt toss them. There are probably tons more creative ways to use them

TBH these are really not worth the space they take up. Not versatile enough.
Keep in mind, feet far in front with activate the triceps more. for assistance, keep feet behind you, but on the ground, to work the chest

I agree. You can use them as drying racks. : ) But one other exercise you can maybe do is inverted rows. That's all I can think of. I would try to sell them.
