While you're waiting, you may like to check out the individual
titles for yourself, on one of the listing sites

http://www.bookfinder.com/

http://www.abebooks.com/

http://used.addall.com/

paying particular attention to edition and condition.

These are dealer's selling prices, so if you find a similar book
to one of yours, it means a dealer might pay you anything between
say 5% and 50% of the selling figure quoted, for your copy, depending
on how much they wanted the book.
