Mother bought a set when we were teenagers. Sold them about 10 years ago - stuck them in local paper for £20. Sold straight away and had dozens of calls, so no idea what we could have got for them.

A fellow student of mine flogged EB during her summer holidays. It was a bit of a scam really, as they sold to poor families who probably didn't have a cat in hell's chance of paying for it, on the grounds of giving their kids an education.
When I looked at their online version a few years ago, it was so Javascript laden it was virtually unusable.
You could get decent info out of it if you scraped it with JS turned off though
