Definitely replace them. It's quite easy to just remove the screw and take the figures apart. Sometimes it's tougher if they're badly rusted or something, but typically it's pretty easy. I've replaced most of my original figure o-rings, and the figures are good as new.
You can get o-rings in the plumbing section of Lowe's/Home Depot. I think size #8 is my favorite for Joes. They cost about a dime each. If you need lots of them, there are some ebay merchants that sell packs of 100 for around $6.
You can definitely get more for them on ebay if they are fixed, and they bring more if you can find as many of the accessories as possible. If you can't remember which guns go with which figure, the database on yojoe.com is pretty comprehensive. If you don't want to bother with any of that, just pile it up and sell it as a parts lot. You won't get as much as selling individual figures, but parts lots will definitely sell.
