No guide in our source registry prices designer or luxury apparel, so DeductiBee has no suggested value to show, and the designer premium is precisely the number we will not invent. Value the piece yourself from comparable sales: what the same label, style and size, in the same condition, has actually sold for recently on the resale market. IRS Pub 561 asks for the price a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in the market where items like it are really traded, and it warns that used clothing is usually worth far less than what you paid. Photograph the piece and its label, and keep the listings or receipts you relied on with your tax records. If your claim for this item, or for the whole group of similar items you gave this year, comes to more than $5,000, the IRS requires a qualified written appraisal and Form 8283 Section B; DeductiBee records the value but does not produce Section B.
