Encyclopedias are difficult to sell but many times if you list a set long enough (sometimes many months or even years) and the price is reasonable, someone may buy it.
Doesn't sound too promising but they do occasionally sell; there is just no way to predict how long it will take.

Actually, your set is a 1904 edition but I'm not sure that would make any difference - good or bad. Check latest date on your title page.

One set - incomplete and not good condition - is listed on eBay for $350 so you might want to place a watch on this one to see if it sells.
Only a sold item can give you any thing close to a current value.

This set recently sold for $85 - a 25 volume set.

If you have the edition that has maps these are the most sought after books as the maps will sell for $15 - $40

Sometimes it is best to just list a set like this for a higher price and lower it if no one shows and interest.
