1st Edition books aren't getting too expensive yet - good quality copies sell from US$10 to US$40. I should probably try to track down copies of the Dungeoneers Survival Guide and the Manual of the Planes, as those are the only two I don't have. I imagine a complete set would be quite valuable one day.
Looks like you and Occhi are both missing the Manual of the Planes, which is nice to have if you are planning on running a higher level game with extra-planar elements but it is otherwise rarely used. A few years ago the Manual was selling for $30-$40; I don't know if the demand and price for it has increased since then. The DSG should be more readily available (it probably had a much higher print run). If you are collecting the books for possible resale, then a complete collection probably won't garner you a higher price than selling individual pieces. Most collectors are either looking for a better quality of a book/module they already have or an excellent copy of something they need to complete their collection.
You guys might also like the Cartographer's Guild for mapping inspirations (WotC also has some nice maps on their site). When strapped for time, I sometimes use someone else's well made dungeon map.
