sounds like you should get valued by an expert. Then auction it.

Would need a lot more information. What company published it? What kind of binding does it have? What kind of cover does it have? What condition is it in?
1889 is not that old for a book or Bible. So unless it is a first edition from that publisher, or has some other feature that makes it unique, it is probably not going to be worth thouands of dollars. Maybe $50-$100 if in very very good condition.
But it could also be one of those rare ones that is somehow unique and worth thousands.
You need to have a professional book dealer price it for you.

I would guess it isn't "a lot", by which I mean I don't think you will live in comfort for the rest of your life if you sell it. Of course, if you actually wanted to use it yourself, that is an entirely different matter, it would be worth more to you to keep it and use it than to sell it.
Assuming you are interested in it's value out of curiosity and assuming that it has no special significance (such as belonging to someone famous), is a reasonable size, and it's in mint condition, then it might fetch $50 to $100 (according to a search on ebay).
Bibles are the top selling book of all time, which means they don't have much value on the second hand market.

Even though it's a Bible, you might find better answers under another topic, maybe something under Arts and Humanities. Better yet, contact a bookstore. Not a chain one like Barnes and Noble, but a locally owned store that sells first editions, antique books, etc.

lol I thought it said 1989. 1889 is pretty old I think but I don't know how much it would be worth.. and there's some people who say that 1889 isn't that old but idk bcuz the reason I clicked ur question was cuz as I said, I thought it said 1989 & that's when I was born, so altho 1889 seems old to me at first, that's only bcuz its 100 yrs b4 I was born, but it's only 36 yrs b4 my grandmother was born so I guess it's not as old as it seemed but as I said, it still is pretty old, cool.

Probably about the same as it was worth about five minutes ago when you asked this exact same question.
Put it on eBay and let the buyers decide.

Don't sell it. Keep it and read it. It might come back into style.
