Any value in old encyclopedias?

Obviously the information in them is out of date, but are there collectors of these?

Found a load of old books in a house we've just bought, earliest 1880, newest 1950ish around 10ish books on a variety of different subjects. Put them on ebay and got no bids with a £1 start.
