Bassett is a decent name but this style was never highly popular as many buyers considered this type of décor (scrolling/embellishments) as looking 'cheap' even in the 70s-80s.

The scrolling/embellishments on the drawers are plastic with a wood look and almost impossible to remove without damage to the wood.
This means it is not something someone may want to buy to 'redo'.

Where you are located will probably be the determining factor as to value as this heavy piece would be too costly to ship.
Different areas - different styles - more or less value.
I'm in Florida and this piece would probably not sell quickly but may sell for $50-$125 but only with the mirror included.
In the US people are generally frequent movers, more renters than owners, live in smaller apartments/houses, and do not want heavy items to lug from one place to another.
I do not know what you paid for your dresser but the price you paid would usually be considered the 'value' in your area.

The only way to test the value in your area would be to list it for sale and see what the market is. always start with a higher price - maybe $400 with best offers considered and see how it goes.

Take good pictures - post a good description - triple dresser - 9 drawers - with mirror. If no offers then reduce the price after a few weeks.
Post on several sites but sites like Craigslist, USA4Sale (your zip), Facebook marketplace, VarageSale, and NextDoor.com will do the best.
Good luck - hope it sells quickly.

Bassett Furniture is a furniture retailer and manufacturer in the United States. They are one of the oldest furniture makers in Virginia. The Bassett family founded Bassett Furniture in 1902 in Bassett, Virginia. In the 1960s, the company expanded. They purchased other furniture stores, including the Prestige Furniture Corporation. The Bassett Furniture Company experienced a decline in sales in the 1990s.
