You pretty much have it.
These do have value. Your friends could sell them on the open market and probably get several thousand dollars. If I were in your shoes, my first question would be: "Do I want these points for something close to market price." If so, I would offer to buy them for that price. Otherwise, I would feel as though I was taking advantage of them. I would probably buy it on the low end of the market, because you are making things really easy on your friends, and that has some value too.
Then, if Marriott takes it, they take it. If not, you have your points. Either way, your friend is paid a fair value for them.
