VerifiedHello, Thank you for using JustAnswer. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your question.
Thank you for your patience. I must not have seen your other two postings for this question.
For this set of books if in excellent condition the resale value is $125-$150. Excellent condition is no frayed edges to the covers, tight binding with no rubbing or fraying to edges, nice bright text on cover and spine, sharp corners and clean inside and out.
If the condition is less than the above the value drops based on the degree of damage.
Please feel free to ask me additional questions about your volume of books. I am here to fully respond to your question.
Thank you, Michelle
