Used Books for Sale

My ministry obtained 501(c)(3) certification from the IRS last year, and one way I am trying to help raise funds is by running an online bookstore selling primarily used Christian books. I have received several hundred books as donations since the beginning of the year since I started soliciting donations, and I’m hoping to go live with the store in a few weeks, but I’m not sure what I need to do as far as assigning a donation value to the books when I send out donation receipts at the end of the year. Do I simply list the number and type of books donated and let the donor make the call on the value of the donation? Or does the IRS have any sort of a list of the deduction value of certain used items when it comes to charitable donations? Any links you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Bookworms, book collectors, students and teachers are a good market for used books. Used books can include fiction, non-fiction, textbooks, self-help, coffee table, and spiritual book types. Used books are easy to sell due to their reduced prices. Used books are also very popular because of rare, one-of-a-kind editions they offer. A used bookstore business can be challenging to promote given a limited budget and other commercial enterprises. In situations like this, one affordable but effective alternative to expensive advertising is the use of printed marketing materials. Below are examples of printed materials that can be used to market a used bookstore business. Bookmarks – Bookmarks are useful gift items that can increase recall or referral rates. Business owners can make use of eye-catching designs combined with simple and direct information.

Postcards as marketing information can be used as invitations to special bookstore events like book readings, book sales, or book auctions.   Postcards can also be packaged as postcard sets for loyal customers, event sponsors, or event prizes.
