Sorry, this is anecdotal rather than helpful... A few years ago I tried to sell many Classics commentaries (Cambridge green and gold, Oxford, etc.) on this list, plus about 55 Loebs. I was able to sell only a fraction of the commentaries. But every single Loeb found a new home. My graduate school adviser tried to persuade us that nobody above the undergraduate level used Loebs. I learned a lot from him, but I found little evidence of this. I'm now a librarian, and have been repeatedly asked to purchase Loebs for our collection--or order them on interlibrary loan for faculty.
