Donation value guide, edition 2026.1

Toy and game donation values

Toys move through a house in volume, and a post-holiday or pre-birthday clear-out is one of the biggest donation events of the year. The published guides price toys by type, and completeness matters more here than almost anywhere else.

Range
$0.50 to $50

A game with missing pieces or a puzzle with a gap is generally not in good used condition, and generally not deductible. Check the box before you count it.

Like new
Unworn or barely used, with tags or as good as. The top of the published range.
Good
Used, complete, clean, and working, with no notable damage. The middle of the range.
Fair
Visible wear but still usable and saleable. The bottom of the range, and generally the lowest condition that can be claimed at all.

Ranges are per item, in US dollars, for items in the condition described. Pick the tier that honestly describes what you gave, then a figure inside that band. Household goods generally must be in good used condition or better to be deductible at all, which is where the Fair tier stops.

This range is the guide’s general range for the class of item, not a figure printed for this item specifically. Derived from a single published range or one too narrow to split confidently. Treat it as a starting point and adjust for what you actually gave.

You value these yourself: Collector or Porcelain Doll

A mixed lot has no published price because it is not a published item: what it is worth depends entirely on what is in it. List the contents, value each piece the way you would value it on its own, and add them up. IRS Pub 561's standard applies to a lot exactly as it does to a single item, and a lot entered as one round number with no itemization is the hardest kind of claim to defend.

You value these yourself: Dollhouse

No guide in our source registry publishes a price for this item, so DeductiBee has no suggested value to show. Enter what it would sell for today, in its current condition, in the market where used items like it are actually sold, which is the willing-buyer/willing-seller standard in IRS Pub 561. Keep a photo and a note of how you got to the figure. Goodwill International and Goodwill of Northern New England both publish the same fallback for items not on their lists: 30% of the item's original purchase price. That is a published starting point, not a rule, and it runs high for anything heavily used.

FAQ

Questions about toys and games donations

Are used stuffed animals deductible?
Only if they are clean and in good used condition or better. Many organizations will not accept plush toys at all, and a donation that is not accepted is not a contribution.
How do I value a toy that came in a set?
Value it as it is being given: a complete set as a set, an incomplete one as the pieces that remain, which usually means the lower end of the range or nothing at all.
