There are a few copies listed for sale on vialibi.net and I don't see any that aren't the first edition.

Who are all those signers?  It seems a bit unusual to see so many signatures and even more so that they are nearly perfectly horizontal on the pages and all the same size more or less.  Are these original signatures?  Have you identified them?

No one will buy it for content.  All 40+ volumes of this have been digitized and are free to read on-line at various websites, including Science Direct. 

So that means that if it has any value, it will be as value to a collector of physical books. 

Condition will be an important factor, therefore, and they look a bit rough.  There are many sources, but this is a good one for a beginner, on how to determine and describe a book's condition:

Those extensive notes and any marginalia will either add to or detract from that value, depending upon who wrote them. 

Signatures will add value if they are the those of the authors of the articles and depending upon their reputations in their fields.

So, you have homework ahead of you. 

Or, you can just grab a price out of the air, list it BIN for that amount, and lower it on re-list if it does not sell.
