Value of 1981 Encyclopaedia Britannica?

I have a stack of 1981 Encyclopaedia Britannica, 30 volume set plus yearbooks. It is the 15th edition and it includes Macropaedia (19 volumes); Micropaedia (10 volumes); Propaedia (one volume); and 8 yearbooks (1977 to 1984 inclusive). Are these worth anything?

Many people have old books they think are valuable and would like to sell. Most old dictionaries, references etc., have very little value-a few dollars at most. Encyclopedias dated after 1923 are essentially worthless but crafters may be interested for the old pictures. Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc., receive donations of tons of old encyclopedias but send them to recycling centers or dumps as they cannot use or sell them.

You can check online for old book collectors, on EBay, Craigslist and other retail sites for possibilities. Everything is now online and updated constantly so old books are just that-old.
