Most cedar chests are listed/sold with 'local pick up only' as shipping would be very costly. This means the value will depend highly on where you are located and how 'in demand' a cedar chest is in your area.
Colder climates seem to be higher on value but the style and condition will also be added to the location when someone is in the market for a chest.
Your chest looks to be in very bad condition (but difficult to tell from pictures) so I'm guessing it would not be very high value as people placing furniture in their home want it to be presentable to visitors.
I would say to post locally on sites like Craigslist or Facebook marketplace and start price at $75 to see if you receive any offers.
You will need a lot of pictures showing the amount of damage. Try to make pictures lighter as your pictures show up dark.
Here are some chests that sold recently (eBays sold listings) that may help with how to post a listing. May not be your chest - just examples).

These chests were a popular item produced in the millions from the end of World War One and into the 1960's. This is why values for these chests tend to be rather modest and often sell at auction in the $40-$90 range.
