These cents are all very inexpensive when they are heavily marked. Even clean examples can be very inexpensive as well. High grade examples usiually come from these sets but most of the coins in the sets are marked. Some like the '88-D come extremely nice most of the time and some like the '79-D is typically very marked.
This is critical to pricing but you need to keep in mind that it will usually cost a lot more to get the best coins. To some extent it will be luck of the draw but most sellers of these make their profit on the higher grade pieces.
There are many ways to go about building these set but the best way in my opinion is to search the mint sets yourself. Keep your eye open for rolls but check dealers mint sets until you find the coin you want. It will cost only a little more and you'll end up with a really nice set.

Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
