If they are not 100 years old yet, which they dont seem to be, they have not reached the status of antiques. They are probably not worth much.

Does this match your set:

www.ebay.com/.../392355895335?hash=item5b5a3bd827...

If so, the current value is $149.99 plus shipping (which was a lot since these are super heavy).

If not, can you please post a photo of the covers and the title page with the release date showing?

You get the most exposure selling on eBay, but shipping is a challenge (expensive and heavy to carry).

If you have a good local venue, you can try selling them there (no shipping).

Post back how your sale goes!

Many people are looking for reference books that are considered antique which means they are over 100 years old. Considering yours are not this age they do not sell for a very high value. Furthermore, you should try and sell these locally to avoid shipping the books to the buyer. The shipping cost will greatly cut into the mney you make or it will lower the value of the books when sold. I would check out a few app that you can download and sell in your own area they are like garage sale apps. List the books there and I would start off with a price around $125. You can always ajust the price if a person is interested in them.
