The most sought after book there is definitely the John searl. They still seem to fetch anywhere from £60 to £100.
The others unfortunately are up and down, keep a look on eBay, that usually gives a semi decent idea on the current market.
 
have a look on abe books to see what the dealers want for them, then reduce by 10-15% (at least) and bobs your aunt, that's about market rate. But and its a big butt they are only worth what someone will offer you
