What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
There is a donor who would like to contribute a 10 year old mobile home to our non profit organization. We are definitely interested in using it at one of our properties. The donor has requested that we pay all of the moving expenses and has also requested that we obtain an appraisal. We are happy to move this at our expense, but what about the appraisal? In the past, any expensive items donated the donor typically had the item appraised. What is the norm? As a volunteer coordinator who coordinates some in-kind donations, I typically deal with furniture and bags of clothing, not such expensive items. Would looking this up in a "blue book" guide be sufficient?
Thanks!
