If you have the 29 volumes Abebooks is selling the same set for $422 plus $28.69 for shipping. You can see some listed on eBay and the prices range from $100 to $400. There is one site that says that some of these sets are worth quite a bit of money but I have never seen a set like this sell for the prices they have quoted.

Contrary to how most items are selling, it looks like this set, according to sold sets on eBay, is seeing a heyday.
The condition of your books as well as the type of cover will make a big difference in the true current value of your set and only you can be the judge of that.
I would suggest you look at a lot of the for sale listings to get an idea of how people are describing their books as well as pictures so you can decide how best to describe yours.
Just remember - asking prices are just numbers a seller would like to receive for their items but only a sold listing shows what a buyer is willing to pay.

Usually current value is based on a sold 'identical' item but vintage/antiques will never be identical so you'll have to set your own value/price by looking at all the sold sets and comparing them to yours.

You can always list your set on other sites, rather than eBay and start your price higher with maybe best offer considered and if no one shows an interest you can always lower the price.
Shipping would be by Media mail but still expensive and books are very heavy.
Asking prices for this edition, range from $$100 to $250 . This is a tough time to get this amount for this collection. It would have to be a collector of this edition to make the sell.
