You need to realize that they might only be worth a couple of bucks each, and thus, you should bundle them, and price them accordingly. Typically, these were cheaply made, and thus, they did not wear well over time. If you have a bunch of old Dover or Tartan books that were mass produced, then they are not going to be worth much. If your books are in nice condition, and somewhat valuable (search sold listings on eBay to get an idea what it is really worth, and also used listings on Amazon, although they are prices from dealers, so a bit high, but they can still give you an idea if is is a $10 book or a $200 book, or worthless), then it can be worth it to sell them individually. The problem is that most of what I see on eBay is junk, often in fair condition at best, and then on top of that, it is overpriced. I bought two books from eBay that I am waiting for right now: One is just a book that is near-and-dear to my heart, that is a first edition hardcover from 1964 in like-new condition, and the other is a very coveted book by Igor Khenkin about checkmating patterns in like-new condition. The real issue is if your books are really any good. I have bought and sold about 800 books on eBay (about 650 sold, and 150 bought), and it is still probably the single best place to get a wide chess-playing audience for your books that are for sale.
