Toys, sports and outdoor donation values

A golf club is the widest high-end gap among types that three copied guides price. The Salvation Army national list, undated, retrieved 2026-11-12, prints $2–$26¹⁰. The label says an individual club. The other two labels are plural. Goodwill Industries International, dated January 12, 2011, prints $2–$25⁹. The list published at ccmaine.org on July 19, 2012 prints $2–$15⁸. A set of clubs is not a fourth number. The Salvation Army label is one club. Do not multiply it by a bag and call the product the guide's range.

A tennis racket is on the same three lists, and one of them is a point. Goodwill Industries International prints $3–$3³⁰. Both ends are the figure that guide printed. The Salvation Army row is $2–$5³¹. The ccmaine.org row is $3–$10²⁹. A board game is $1–$3⁴, $1–$1³ and $1–$5². The Goodwill Industries International board-game row is also a point. A bicycle is Salvation Army only, $5–$83¹.

Outdoor machines sit on this hub and they are not filed as household toys. A lawn mower is two lists: $25–$75¹⁴ from the list published at tchabitat.org on January 2, 2019, and $26–$104¹⁵ from the Salvation Army list. A riding mower is Salvation Army only, $104–$311²⁰. A snow blower is tchabitat.org only, $10–$75²⁴. A power mower there is a separate row, $10–$75¹⁷, not a duplicate of the lawn mower line. Those types are classed as other. The below-good switch does not drop them. A board game, a bicycle and a golf club are household, and the switch does apply. Publication 561 says You cannot take an income tax charitable contribution deduction for household items unless they are in good used condition or better.³⁴ That sentence is the household rule. It is not a rule this catalog pasted onto a mower.

Condition for a toy is missing pieces, a box that is gone, a board that is warped. For a bike it is a bent wheel or a missing tire. For a mower it is whether it starts, and whether the bag or the blade is there. The guides do not print a parts row. Brand is not a column. Age is not a column. A game from last year and one that has been in a closet for a decade share the type. Completeness is the individual-club label, and a puzzle or a game that is short a piece. The lists do not say how many pieces a complete game has.

Goodwill Northern New England is dated February 3, 2025. Its rows are not copied. 30%³⁵ of a price you type applies to an item that is not an item type. A bicycle is an item type, so the empty cells stay empty.

Donate with the calculator. A store can refuse a mower it will not take. The tchabitat.org list prices several of these machines. That is not an acceptance policy. A private sale is not priced here. surplus auction prices is government surplus. Power tools and generators live on Building materials, not in this table.
