Drexel Vintage Cherry Nightstands

[ShipyardArt]

I just got these nightstands for free with the intention of painting them. As usual, I google any furniture with marks before I do any work, and found a single nightstand recently sold for $395 plus freight, and there is a pair on eBay right now with 12 watchers that is listed for $789. Can anyone tell me if these nightstands are actually valuable enough that I should clean them up and sell them as is, or proceed with painting without guilt? They are Drexel Heritage 124-630 Vintage Cherry. To me, they look like they are probably from the 80s, but I would love to find out more about them. Thank you in advance!
