This furniture would have no value at all where I live. If you could get $75 it would be a lot. I hope you have better luck.

Probably made in the 80s.
Very plain style - double dresser.
The picture is dark and it is difficult to tell very much about the condition but potential buyers usually want very good to excellent condition if they going to pay even $75-$100.
I did not find a dresser exactly like yours but I found a very similar one that sold in 2019 for $96 with local pickup.

Furniture is very expensive to ship so value will not only depend on brand but also on style, condition, and location.

I do not believe this is a promising style but it is a small style so that may be in your favor. You will have to evaluate the true condition and post several good pictures with your listing.
You can always post a high amount ($500-$1,500) with best offer considered as well as local pickup only.
With this type of posting, you will be able to feel out your area to see if anyone makes an offer.
Post with good pictures - every angle - all around the dresser - inside markings on drawers - back markings on dresser and mirror.
Close-ups of any damage - state measurements.
You could try posting on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and any other site you're familiar with.
If you receive no offers after several weeks then reduce the price and wait again.

If posting is new to you try this:
Google: How do I post on Facebook Marketplace?
Or any other site you wish to try.

You have really rare pieces from a vintage Bassett "Entre" bedroom set.
I found a vintage 1970s Bassett "Brigitte" series girls bedroom 12 pieces set www.ebay.com/.../353749916250
Your dresser has a stamp on the back 219-82-217 Dresser, Job 82 W Cherry Entre Group, and 1970s Bassett "Brigitte" dresser has a stamp 151-18-217 Dresser, Job 92 W Encore Green Brigitte Series. I think your Dresser is either from the late 1970s or from the 1980s.
The Bassett "Brigitte" bedroom set includes a Headboard, a Footboard, a Nightstand, a Dresser, a Desk, a Chair, 2 Metal Siderails, 3 Drawer Chest, a Hutch For 3 Drawer Chest, a Lighted Mirror, a Desk Hutch With Light. It is on sale for $850.

So, you have two pieces: a 6-drawer dresser and a mirror.
