Donation Guidelines from Ken Kamen from Mercadien Asset Management and thestreet.com –

“Just because you paid $1,000 for a suit doesn’t mean it’s worth that when you donate it. If you’ve never been to a thrift shop or don’t know what a fair market value for an item may be, pants and blouses range in value from $2 to $8, and books can be priced from $1 to $3. These prices offer a good general guide and someone at the thrift shop can help you make an accurate accounting.

It may be tempting to fudge on that blank form you’re given when you make a charitable donation, but your $3 sweater just isn’t worth $50 — and the IRS knows it.”
