I would still get the ignition module and try to sell the Norcold in working condition.

Wouldn't that be DECEITFUL?.
No.
Give full disclosure of repairs and history. But with an igniter you could at least show that the fridge currently works.
I don't know the cost of repair or the price of a used and repaired unit. If it is worth $100 more than the repair... I would go for it. It is coming out anyway.
Might even be enough to pay for the upgrade to a sine wave inverter.
Yes, it is deceitful to make repairs just to sell it even with full disclosure. It is the same thing as taking an old junker car (remember Yugos?), slapping a scrounged up old battery, a couple of used tires from the wrecking yard then slapping a a higher price than scrap all while you knowingly know that it has been a real piece of junk.
Basically giving used car salesmen a good name... :S
Besides what could you really gain by slapping a $250 board into a 20 yr old fridge? It is OLD, USED and nothing but trouble to the current owner. Patching up junk just nets someone else an expensive door stop.
I pity the poor fool that buys anything from you, I don't work that way, in my world if it is JUNK it goes to JUNK... I don't sell junk, it promotes extremely angry and unhappy "customers". Spent many of my early years working in consumer electronic repairs, learned that long ago..
