Overview
"Garage Sale" is not a specific event, but an ongoing effort to rid the shop of excess materials while raising funds for the organization. Materials will be sold in various ways, such as auctions, physical garage sale, and online auction sites such as eBay.
It is important that if an item is sold, the Treasurer be notified to tell the original donor of the materials what the items were sold for. This amount is the only amount the original donor may deduct from their taxes to be compliant with the IRS.
Treasurer's Note
- Makers Local 256 does not sell things. If a private party chooses to take an item from the Hack-Me section, and later donate extra money, that is well and good. As a rule, things found in the Hack-Me section are fair game and not "for sale". People are encouraged to donate money if they find things in the Hack-Me section, but there are no price tags. As with all things in the shop use your best judgement and consider the feelings of others.
- Original donors are given a receipt for items that they donate at the time that they donate and and appreciation or depreciation of value while in the shop's possession is irrelevant after 1 year. If an item has been in the Hack-Me section for under a year, things could get more complicated, but we do keep records for donations.
eBay
Listing items on eBay assists in determining an item's value. The idea is if an item is listed, and it doesn't sell, then the item has no value and can be thrown away or recycled. This way of thinking was mentioned from a member of HacDC in Washington.
Items Proposed for Sale
- The collection of large orangish fans \ propellers sitting in the AV Area.
- Original donor: TBD
- The various XBOX 360 and PS3 shells in upstairs storage
- Original donor was Ecosmoke. Receipt can be found here: Ecosmoke Xbox, PS3, and other various console parts
