the pipes too or just the clamps

Of course the pipes too. What good is one piece without the other?

If you have a pipe cutter and a hand threader, the pipe can still
be useful. Black or galvy.

For what? A boat anchor? All they were going to do is cost me more
money when I moved.

I've used old pipe for plumbing repair, handrails, gas-line repair, etc.

YMMV.

Black pipe for water? I've never even owned a house with galvanized.

I've seen (and I have) pipe clamps made from galvy. And my house is
plumbed with galvy, so it's been useful to me. I also have pipe clamps
made from black iron, but didn't need to repurpose them when I extended
the gas from the furnace to the kitchen for a gas stove.

If you don't need it, donate it to a building materials recycling place,
if you have one nearby.
