Depending on condition, they go from $65-$150. No one knows what future prices will be.

Understanding prices in the next 50 years is hard to predict. The price could go up or down depending on the economy and the supply and demand of the items. it is hard to say if collectors will want to collect books in the next 50 years.

Understanding the market today is a different story. You can check on eBay and see how much they are selling for. Currently the prices range from $69 to $150 for the set. This is one of the harder places to sell books like this. Your best bet is through a book sell because the set is over 100 years old and there is a value that can be made when selling them at the right place and to the right people.
