Most you can get is $1476.86 (selling all of the books (used and hard cover) in person), and if you sell it on Amazon, they take around 15% in fees, so you'll still get $1255.33. But wait...if you sell it to your university's book store, best they can do is $.01.
Total cost: $2832.11 (including speakers)
Net loss: -$1355.25 (books only). If sold on Amazon, net loss: -$1576.78 (books only). Speakers look nice; I wouldn't sell them.
Edit: Added the two books and the table. /u/The_King_of_Pants gave the price of speakers. ¡Muchas gracias para el oro! Reminder: Never buy your books at the bookstore.
Edit 2: Here are most of the books on Library Genesis
Thanks to /u/WhereToGoTomorrow
Last time this was posted someone pointed out that all these books could be purchased for significantly less than $1000.

Yeah, you want Fogler. It covers what you want and it's pretty much the easiest to follow of the chemical engineering textbooks. Lucky you.

Found all these books for less than 250, don't buy books at the bookstore
first, second, third, fourth
That job sounds about right for an analytical chemist tbh. You asked for Books and I will give you books.
The all-around grand champion book for chemical engineers to have is Perry’s handbook.
In chemistry you did remedial thermodynamics in comparison to what chemical engineers are given, so I suggest this book as a primer in chemical thermodynamics. It covers phase equilibria, basic thermodynamics, and non-ideal behavior at a depth not seen in chemistry programs.
For heat and mass transfer I used this book in my undergrad. This is something that was almost certainly left untouched in your chemistry program.
For reaction engineering, I used [Folger’s book] (https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Chemical-Reaction-Engineering-4th/dp/0130473944/). You might recognize some of the constituent pieces, but this will bring it all together to solve for definite times and conversions.
More applicable to your direct job is process control. [Bequette's book] (https://www.amazon.com/Process-Control-Modeling-Design-Simulation/dp/0133536408/) will probably be one of the most directly important books on this list for you as far as process monitoring goes. And [this book] (https://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Synthesis-Processes-International-Engineering/dp/0132618125/) will give your insight into why processes are made the way they are.
The most important book in the list is [Process Safety] (https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Process-Safety-Fundamentals-International/dp/0131382268/). It is important that you understand what is and is not dangerous, along with what it and is not safe. You can skip the blast calcs, but do look at the TLV data, because that will come up for emissions.
This list is overbuilt and if you only have time for 3 pick the last 3 I listed and pick up a cheap Perry’s handbook for reference.
Analysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes (co-authored by one of my professors)
Separation Process Engineering
Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering
Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles
Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes (newest edition)
There were all of my texts from most recent to oldest that should have pertinent information to what all you're covering. I don't know where they would be covering parts 9-11 but I imagine that could be part of Separations.
"Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering" by Fogler (4th edition) sells on Amazon for $87.64. (https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Chemical-Reaction-Engineering-4th/dp/0130473944)
"Physical Chemistry" by Atkins, 8th edition sells for $31.50 on Amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/Physical-Chemistry-Peter-Atkins/dp/0716787598)
"Separation Process Principles" (I think 3rd edition if my image enhancer is working properly) sells on Amazon for $65.
"Chemistry" by Zumdahl (I think 7th edition) sells on Amazon for $25.77. (https://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Steven-S-Zumdahl/dp/061852844X)
So $209.91 less shipping fees but these would mail via USPS Media Mail which runs like, at most $3.75 per book so take that out and you're left with $194.91.
