We have a full set of (10) Colliers New Encyclopedias from 1921 in very good condition. What are they worth and where should we try to sell them?
The Colliers New Encyclopedia, 1921 set is the complete revised set dating from 1902-1921 editions and reduced from 16 volumes to 10 volumes.
Your set appears to be in good condition but you're still competing with large numbers of sellers all over the Internet.
There are listings of sets being sold with sold prices ranging from $25 to $155 so it would appear that you could start your price at the higher price with offers considered and leave the set listed for several weeks.
If you do not receive any offers, you should consider lowering the price and wait again.
There does not appear to be any specific site for this type of book, other than Abe's Books, so list your set on as many sites as you wish. Facebook Marketplace is good but so are several others.
