Antique Encyclopedia Britannica 3rd Edition 1791?

I have inherited a very old set of Encyclopedia Britannica and was wondering if anyone knows whether it is rare or valuable. It's 15 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica Moore's Dublin Edition (James Moore) - 1791-1798. There are no picture plates in any of the volumes, just writing. I am interested in selling them, but am unsure how to find interested buyers.

Moore's edition is an Irish pirate printing of the 3rd edition. It's supposed to be 18 volumes and it looks like somebody took all the plates out. A real Britannica 3rd edition complete and nice is worth $7000, Moores is a pirate and only worth $2000 if complete and with all the plates. Yours, incomplete and with all the plates gone, is firewood.
