Kitchen and housewares donation values

Pots and bakeware are on three copied guides, and the spans are short. The Salvation Army national list, undated, retrieved 2026-11-12, prints $1–$3¹⁹ and $1–$3⁴. Goodwill Industries International, dated January 12, 2011, prints $1–$3¹⁸ and $1–$3³. The list published at ccmaine.org on July 19, 2012 prints $2–$10¹⁷ and $2–$10². A plate is the same three lists: $0.50–$3¹⁶, $0.50–$3¹⁵, $0.50–$7¹⁴. The ccmaine.org highs sit above the other two. They stay on that guide's line.

The list published at tchabitat.org does not price these kitchen types. Empty cells stay not listed. Goodwill Northern New England is dated February 3, 2025, and its rows are not copied. The unlisted rule is 30%²⁷ of a price you type, for an item that is not an item type. A teapot, which only the ccmaine.org list prices, $2–$7²¹, does not borrow a pot's span.

Luggage is on this hub because that is where the mapped rows landed. The guides filed bags with household goods, not with shirts. The women's luggage type is on three lists: $5–$16²³, $5–$15¹², $4–$12²². Each of those labels says luggage. The Salvation Army row sits under miscellaneous, not under a women's heading. Men's luggage is Goodwill Industries International only, $5–$15¹², and that label is also luggage, under the men's heading. A knickknack row exists only on the ccmaine.org list, $0.25–$10¹¹. The label is the guide's own wording.

Condition here is chips, burns, missing lids and a set that is no longer a set. A pot without a lid is still the pot row. The lists do not print a lid column. Brand is not a column. A maker's mark on the bottom of a plate does not move the cell. Age is not a column. A pan that has been used for years and one that was barely used share the type. Completeness shows up only when a label says so, and these kitchen labels mostly do not.

Publication 561 says You cannot take an income tax charitable contribution deduction for household items unless they are in good used condition or better.²⁸ Housewares on this page are filed as household items. The paragraph under the table is that rule. Household items include furniture, furnishings, electronics, appliances, linens, and similar items.²⁹ is the publication's own list. It names linens and furnishings. It does not name a suitcase. Luggage is on this page because a guide row mapped here.

Donate with the calculator. A charity's rule about chipped dishes, or about whether it wants a suitcase, is not in the valuation list. Selling a single pan at a driveway sale is not priced here. The span is what the publisher printed for donors. surplus auction prices is government surplus and does not belong on a pot.
