[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much is your time worth? If you spend hours trying to get anther $1k in donated value, that may not be worth it. It's not a tax credit remember -- it doesn't come straight off in your taxes. The actual bottom-line tax benefit will be lower anyway.[/quote]

This is the PP donating to the high school. I emailed with the high school and had one phone conversation with WAMU. Quickly discovered the difference in being able to deduct KBB vs. the sale price. Set up an appointment with the high school. Tow truck showed up this morning and I'll go over there to do the paperwork in a couple hours. It was totally painless and I'd recommend this route.

FWIW My DH wanted to see what we could get in a private party sale so he put it on Craigslist and put signs in the windows. He got a bunch of phone calls and a few test drives and then most of them offered him like half of what he wanted (which granted was ridiculous). Truth: from a strictly financial perspective we likely would have done better to sell it but dealing with people is a hassle and I feel better about donating it.[/quote]
