Is this set (which is pristine, they still creak when opened) worth anything at all? They are complete and with the case. Any idea?

Encyclopedias, unless antique, have little value in today's market.
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, dictionaries and reference books but send them to recycling centers or dumps as they cannot use or sell them.
It looks like you have a very nice set but as mentioned, most of these sets/books are not very valuable and very difficult to well.
You can keep checking on eBay for a similar set (that actually sold) and you might come up with a reasonable value but these sets are usually listed as pick up only - no shipping - as it would be too expensive to ship (and very, very difficult to pack).
