I do believe "noindex, follow" is the most common solution to this. I have seen instances where another page ranks for an obscure word that is only used in anchor text on a page that is not indexed through this method, although it's hard to test just how much value is getting passed it appears to be more then if you used disallow.

I'd ask how well your site is being indexed now? if most of your pages including these are being indexed then, and these are direct sales pages, then instead of removing them try and rank them. On the other hand if most of your site is not getting indexed and you think these pages are using up crawl bandwidth and keeping your money pages from being indexed then get rid of them.
