Keep it running until the moment it's carried out — cold shelves are your proof it works. Deep-clean the interior, photograph it empty with the light on, list the exact dimensions and door swing, and recruit help: at about 300 lb, this is a two-person, dolly-and-truck pickup.
Is a 10-year-old refrigerator worth selling?
Worth listing, at the right price. With a typical 13-year service life, a 10-year-old unit has a few years left, and there's always demand for a cheap working fridge — garages, rentals, first apartments.

Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 300 lb, moving a refrigerator adds about $150–$240 to the bill — if that is more than its resale value, sell it before moving day and rebuy at your destination.
