As a general rule, buyers look for older sets that are in good to excellent condition, and although your picture is not very good (dark) it would appear that your set is in poor to very poor condition.
Because of the condition, I think it would be difficult to sell this set at any price.
I could be wrong and you could try listing it for sale, maybe starting at $75, and see if you receive any offers.
If no offers after several weeks then either reduce the price or keep the set yourself.
Occasionally these old sets will sell at yard sales - maybe for $15-20.
There are several sets listed for sale on online auction sites but all appear to be in very good condition even with that being said, I have not found a set that has sold.
This one is asking $378.25. It has not sold yet. www.ebay.com/
This set is listed for $330.48:
