Here is a link to eBay's sold listings so you can see what type of dictionaries (especially condition) people are looking for and willing to pay even a few dollars for.
ThriftyFun has a link about the value of dictionaries - maybe some of the answers may help you reach a value for your book: No matter the final price it cannot be used as a 'current value' for your book as the condition is not comparable.
