Your table is described as a drum table with spider legs.
It appears there are several of these models or very similar models available for sale online. Prices displayed on items listed for sale do not represent value, as only a sold item shows what someone was willing to pay for that item.
Most models listed for sale are listed as 'local pick up only' which means the area where located will have a very big impact on the final value of these items.

How does your area feel about vintage blonde furniture?
This is difficult to determine but you could do some research on local sites like Craigslist, USA4Sale, and Facebook marketplace to see what types of furniture are selling in your area.
As a general rule, other 'colors' of furniture sells for more money than blonde furniture - but in different areas, the blonde could be popular.

Mersman produced several similar models over a couple of years - making minor changes with different numbers.
It appears your table may be Mersman #8123.
I did not find any similar blonde tables that had recently sold on eBay, and the only sold tables that I could find were sold several years ago.
You can take a look at the sold tables when looking for value as values have not changed very much over the past several years. Some markets say the value has dropped.

This table sold for $60 in 2015 local pick up - Florida.

This table was passed up at $60 in 2019 located in Indianapolis, IN. (shows incorrect number 8179)

This table sold for $30 in 2020.

This table may or may not have sold but was listed for $50.
marketplace.apartmenttherapy.com/.../d0b6e16c-06e8-409e-8ec1-884b62e6f51b


You can see that most of the sold prices are low but the value could be higher in your area.
I would suggest you start with a higher price - $200-$250 with local pick up and best offers considered.
List it on all the local sites and if no offers are received after several weeks then lower the price and wait again.
