The Dixie Furniture Company opened in 1901 in Lexington, North Carolina and made furniture under the Dixie name from 1901 until about 1986-1987. www.vintagefurnitureguide.com/.../
Your Dixie set is from the 1960s.

I found identical 9 drawer dresser but without mirror:
Mid Century Dixie Triple Dresser / Credenza / Buffet 66.25x18.5x30 is listed at $1,125:

I'm pretty sure this site is fake, be careful:

Dixie furniture can be sold for high prices, but the price depends on the demand in your area as shipping is very expensive.

I think these suggestions will help you:

Looks like a nice bedroom set.
The problem with trying to provide any type of value with large pieces of furniture is the area/location of the items will usually determine the final value - price that someone is willing to pay in your area.

Fact:
You may see asking/for sale prices online, but do you see actual sales in your area? There is a huge difference.

I believe your set falls closely within Mid Century Modern styles that featured clean lines, minimalist profiles and peg legs. Additionally, MCM Dixie dressers may not have any hardware, or it may have very geometric bold handles."

Dixie Furniture has always been a mid-line value, but it is well-made and may be popular in your area. A big problem with vintage sales today is the most popular furniture seems to be from Ikea.
Pick-up and delivery is always a problem with furniture.

Online statements about Dixie Furniture
"Dixie's vintage dressers and accent pieces feature pressed wood and laminates. Solid wood dressers typically have a higher priced point on the used furniture market. So, while Dixie Furniture is certainly nothing to sneeze at, you likely will not have to pay an arm and a leg for used Dixie furniture."

"Dixie Furniture Company is not considered to be a fine furniture brand. Instead, Dixie sits below companies like Drexel and Henredon in quality and prestige. So, while a vintage Henredon Dresser can reach a resale value of a couple of thousand dollars, a vintage Dixie dresser likely will sell for a few hundred dollars."

Sets do not always sell for the most money and many people break up the set and sell individual pieces.
This set sold for $100 in 2021. Located in Rockville, MD

This dresser is identical to yours and set at a pretty high for sale price: $1,125 plus shipping.
The big thing about this listing is the pictures. They show off this dresser and draw attention to every detail. It has been listed for a long time but it may sell. Etsy does have good sites for shipping large items but still costly.

I'm just showing different sets and how the value (sold price) can vary widely according to the area the set is located.
This set sold for $95 in 2021 in California.

If you list your set, be sure to take clear pictures (no clutter) and a good description. Start your price high and lower it if you receive no offers. Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, OfferUp are good sites to list in.

This link seems to have the best history of Dixie Furniture:
