Lane cedar chests are usually the best-selling chests but items like this are almost always very slow to sell.
Most chests are sold as 'local pick up only' as these are very expensive to ship.
I did not see but 16 large size Lane chests sold on eBay over the past several months and have no idea as to where these were located so it is difficult to place value on your chest.

Since the top is in desperate need of refinishing, your chest will probably not go to $200 but you can always list it at a higher price with best offers considered, and lower the price after several weeks/months if you receive no offers.

The top of your chest needs refinishing. I would price it at $200 and be prepared to go down

If you turn your chest over you will find the number instappraisal.com/.../old-lane-cedar-chest-0
The number will help you determine the year your chest was made.

I assume you have a Lane Cedar chest made in the late 20's - early 1930's.
Try some Orange Oil or Old English scratch cover for the top.
The price is about $200 retail, but the price can be lower, for example a Lane Cedar chest of a slightly similar style was sold online for $85
