[cobirds] Value of a Bailey & Niedrach set

COBirders,

   Today a member of the Arkansas Valley Audubon Chapter donated a set of both volumes of Bailey & Niedrach's BIRDS OF COLORADO (1965) to our chapter to be used for fund-raising purposes.  After a summary Google search, I find the prices listed by sellers to be all over the map.  The donated books do not have dust covers, the binding on one is coming loose from the spine but the other cover is intact.  The bindings show some wear but not much. The pages are not damaged in any way nor are there any marks or stains on either of the books.  I don't know if they would be considered to be in fair, good, or very good condition.  We would appreciate any ideas anyone has about the monetary value of this set.  Please reply to me directly, thanks!

   (For those COBirders who are unfamiliar with this work, it was the first illustrated in-depth study by ornithologists published for lay people interested in birds of our state.  The books are large and heavy.)
