There are several chests listed on eBay and the normal asking price for these is $325 to $395. However, this does not mean the chest is worth this much money. We need to find one of your style that has sold recently online to actually determine the true value of your chest. Many people will say the chests are worth a lot more but this is not the case. I did find some recent information about people who listed these for auction and the average price they received was $105 to $135. This would be the value of the chest and not the asking price.
There is one on ebay about this size , that is being offered for $175. In my search I could not find one exact to yours.
Judging from sold listings on eBay it seems that only the 'unusual' styles are being sold for very much money and the plain, simple styles (like yours?) are only being sold for $50-$125.
Of course most chests are sold as 'pick up only' so the location of the chest will have a lot to do with the value.
I did find a chest shown as #2968 and wondered if this might be the style of your chest?

You can always contact Lane with questions (not value) as they seem to be good about answering questions.

Sometimes selling on local venues are more successful if you post within your area as pick up only.
Facebook Marketplace, LetGo, Varnage, OfferUp are good sites to start.
List at a higher price and lower it if necessary.
