If it's new with tags (less than 1 yr old) you could probably still deduct the store value, but you'd need to be able to back up your claim if it were ever questioned.

For everything else, it's thrift store value--what would they be selling it for at the Goodwill.

I will admit, I'm a garage sale haggler even though I'm not needy. I always thought that was an accepted thing for garage sales. Very few people turn down my offer!
