Well the 24-120/4 VR still retails for 950 EUR or more, while the older 24-120/3.5-5.6 VR can often be found used for 250 EUR, the older non-VR for even less.
I can't comment on all of the lenses on the list, but I own the 24-85/2.8-4, which is ok, but not stellar. The macro mode is a neat feature, but don't expect wonders from it.
Missing on your list is the AF-D 28-105, which can often be found quite cheap and is certainly well worth the (little) money. I think I paid 150 EUR for mine.
Talking about the tele lenses: I once used the Tokina 80-400 on film, where it already wasn't really stellar. I'd rather look for a 70-300 VR or Tamron 70-300 VC here.
