The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires donors to value their items. To help guide you, the attached list provides price ranges for items commonly sold in second-hand stores. Assume the following items are in good condition, and remember—prices are only estimated values.
This information is intended to give consumers an idea of how second hand stores price these items. Please understand that Reconnecting Families does not provide tax advice, and we recommend that you check with a tax professional if you are seeking tax information.
