Factors for Value
Condition
Condition is determined by the amount of noticeable wear and/or defects an item may have. Items with excessive wear or defects may be worth little or no value.
Style
Style is defined by factors such as brand, features, material, size, fashion, etc. depending on the item.
Use
Use is defined by how useful the item would be in someone's home or business today.
Age
Most commonly donated items will depreciate in value over time. Newer items will
generally be worth more than older items as long as other factors remain the same.
Typically as an item ages, its condition deteriorates, it becomes less useful,
and it may become out of style. There is a direct relationship between age and
the other factors listed.
