I wouldn't think it would be worth much at all. I would guess whatever the compressor is worth. But, who knows being it is "Danish Modern".

Hmm...different to be sure, basically an upscale office cooler/refrigerator, seems like it should come in a burnt-orange color, or maybe avocado green, like my mom's old 1970's appliances.. tounge

Danish modern refers to a furniture style  that first became  popular in the 1950's. Wooden furniture, very simple  patterns or forms with minimal hardware trim, engraving etc.
Original pieces can go for several thousand $$$'s.

I thought maybe you could contact someone at that Modcats Design link. They could tell you what it sold for.

If all the shelves are there and it cools,  I'm guessing $500-750,
I've seen crazy prices go for furniture pieces considered "Modern"

Pat, Pat, Pat. haven't my DVD training courses  taught you anything??

Mention several times it is Modern Danish design, make the potential buyer realize he knows nothing about style, and no, you aren't getting this at an IKEA.

Allude to the fact  it was from the  penthouse suite of the old Las Vegas hotel "The Sahara", and was probably used by Sinatra, Martin,  Bishop, and the rest of the Rat Pack. You were told this, leave it to the buyer to research it.

Find and old style ice cube tray ( metal, lift up handle)  include it and tack on another $75

it's all in the presentation Smiley
