How much is my Compton's Encyclopedia 1989, 26 Vol. set worth? And if I want to sell them where can I go to do this?

Many people have old books they think are valuable and would like to sell. Most old dictionaries, references etc., have very little value-a few dollars at most. Encyclopedias dated after 1923 are essentially worthless but crafters may be interested for the old pictures. Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc., receive donations of tons of old encyclopedias but send them to recycling centers or dumps as they cannot use or sell them.
You can check online for old book collectors, on EBay, Craigslist and other retail sites for possibilities. Everything is now online and updated constantly so old books are just that-old.
1989 isn't considered old. Unfortunately it's just used.
I also have a complete 26 volume 1989 set. But I also have the comptons yearbooks from 90-96, and 95-97 science annuals. They all still make the crack sound when opening, spines, corners, pages in near perfect condition, no tears, folds, or yellowing (these were rarely used).
