Question

What do you mean value per donated item? The original cost or the discounted cost ie per ebay?

There are two dollar figures necessary when claiming a deduction for non-cash contributions:

  1. The "cost" to you, ie, the money out of your pocket when you originally acquired/purchased it.
  2. The "value" of the item on the day of the donation. (Fair market value is the price a willing buyer would pay for them. Value usually depends on the condition of the item.)
