I have a 1904 Laird & Lee’s Vest Pocket Webster Dictionary For Constant Use and would like to know what it is worth in good condition with cover. I also have a 1860 bible - The Treasury of The Sacred Heart (abridged from the larger work - Dublin: Charles Eason without cover but other than that all in tact.

I have no idea what they would be worth — my husband buys them and I catalog them :) If I do look up prices, I usually check ABEBooks and BookFinder, taking into account that the prices listed there are for unsold books.
