What can I do with retaining blocks?

I have two pallets of retaining wall blocks that I don't know what to do with. I plan to use some for a fire pit, but am not sure what to do with the rest. I bought them online thinking they were edging blocks, but they turned out to be retaining blocks. The company was going out of business and all sales were final so I can't return them.

do your fire pit first to see how many blocks you have left.You can use them for boarders around trees, edging a small garden etc
Do they have holes in them or are they just solid blocks? Here are some ideas for the blocks with the holes in them!
They could be used to make a raised flower, herb or vegetable bed.
Retaining wall, fire pit, separate flower garden from yard, separate pet area from yard, knock the edge off with a chisel and you can use them for almost anything.
There are so many people that would want them. Why not put them in a local online yardsale or craigslist and sell them-you probably could make a profit-but at the very least not lose much money
