I do not think it could really be called a 'set' and sets are more difficult to sell and very difficult to pack and ship. Shipping is also very expensive when dealing with this many pieces of china.
I believe this style/pattern was generally sold to the restaurant trade so that is probably the reason there are so many different marks on your pieces.
here is a plate like your #141 that sold for $9.99.

You might want to try selling in singles or groups of 2-6 pieces so perhaps they will be easier to pack and ship.
It will take longer to sell all of the groups but you will receive more money in the long run.
Your cups appear to be demitasse cups (?) - if so, these should be sold as a set if possible.
You can check out the prices for your pieces on Replacements so you can get a general idea of what level to price your pieces.
Judging by the maker's stamps, your pieces were manufactured in 1960-70's. The manufacturer is the German factory Arzberg (Bayern), which has a very complex history, and in different years it was called differently. In your photos with stamps, the stamp on the first and third pieces was used in 1960-1974 by Porzellanfabrik Arzberg. design20.eu/
The name of the pattern of your pieces is Athena White. www.replacements.com/
The price of a Cup & Saucer $10, Bread & Butter Plate $10, Dinner Plate $75, Salad Plate $26, Saucer for Cream Soup Bowl $8.
A large set of Arzburg dinnerware @ ebay is priced @ $395.00 w/ $139 for shipping:

@ replacements a 5 piece place setting is $63.95.
You would get more pricing pieces individually. Plates range from $13 to $15 on eBay. www.ebay.com/
This German made classic china is also online at a china company called Replacements, this company has your china. They also buy and sell consumer's china. Here is what it would cost if you purchase through them, you can also ask them about the value of your pieces.
