You value these yourself: Treadmill, Elliptical Trainer, Stationary Bike, Rowing Machine

No guide in our source registry prices exercise equipment, so DeductiBee has no suggested value to show. The gap is real rather than an oversight: our registry is charity thrift guides, thrift stores rarely take heavy fitness gear, and every list we found that does price a treadmill or a weight set turned out to be a compilation of somebody else's numbers rather than a record of an actual sale. Value it from comparable sales instead, which is what IRS Pub 561 asks for: what the same make and model, in working order, has recently sold for used near you. Note the make, model and rough age, photograph it assembled and running, and keep the listings you compared against 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.
