Value of Partial Set of Britannica Encyclopedias?

I have an incomplete set of the 1910 - 1911 edition (Cambridge University). It is bound in black leather and I am curious of its value. I have 19 of the 29 volumes, in excellent shape!

Encyclopedias are usually very slow sellers on auction sites but this edition is pretty popular so you may still be able to sell them even with only having a partial set.
Most of the time it is difficult to even give a set away as library book sales and thrift stores do not usually want them as they do not sell well.
You can check Google, Amazon, eBay, Etsy for current listings but keep in mind that asking prices are not always selling prices and many sellers leave books listed for months and even years before selling.

shipping a set is always a problem as most of the time they have to be shipped in several boxes. Here are examples of this series for sale on eBay right now and second link shows books that actually sold and what was paid.

It is an antique, so it may be worth something. It would be worth more if it were complete.

If you can find a collector of such things you might be able to sell these. Other than that they don't go for much. I see them at yard sales all the time.
