It looks like several sets have sold on eBay over the past several months. Sold prices range from $150 - $1,195.
Usually, the condition of the books has a lot to do with value so check out the sold sets and see how your set measures up.

It's always a good idea to check out listings so you can get a good idea of how to list your set to get the most people looking at your set. Lots of good pictures are a must.

Always start a little higher and offer 'best offers considered'.
You can ship these USPS media mail but it usually takes 2-3 boxes.

The Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition is a 29 leather-bound volume reference work. It was published by the Cambridge University Press between 1910 and 1911. Robert Collison, in Encyclopaedias: Their History Throughout The Ages (1966), wrote of the eleventh edition that it "was probably the finest edition of the Britannica ever issued" en.wikipedia.org/.../Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica_Eleventh_Edition

"The 11th edition brought a change in both plan and method of the Encyclopædia Britannica. Previous editions had consistently planned to provide comprehensive treatises on major subjects as well as detailed information on particulars and had inevitably lacked coherence because of the method of printing, whereby they appeared in parts over a considerable period of time. (An exception was the 10th edition, which lacked coherence for another reason: it was partly a supplement.)" www.britannica.com/.../Eleventh-edition-and-its-supplements

The price of 11th edition (29 volumes) plus 3 Handy volumes (Vols 30, 31, 32) is $ 950.41 (shipping is not included) www.abebooks.com/.../BookDetailsPL?bi=31111677425&searchurl...

There is a link that has valued this set between $2,500 to $4,500 depending on the condition because it is considered antique and over 100 years old, buyer/collector, and location for the sale makes the difference in buyers, through https://www.justanswer.com - also what others are asking for there collection- www.bing.com/shop?q=what+is+the+value+of+a+1910....
