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.

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.
