[TheThinkTank] Fancy Parts

[Erik Stockmeier]

Question!

What the heck does everybody's shop do with fancy items of special worth to
collectors?  For example... perhaps you come upon a donation of half a dozen
70s unused campi sidepull break sets.  Your stock of breaks is full, so
throwing them in the bin or selling them for 5$ or shlepping them on a
Roadmaster seems like a waste.  Is it ethically ok for a non-profit to
occasionally indulge collectors as a source of surplus income?  What about
legally for a 501c3?  Is it necessary to launder them through a "buyer" who
sells them at profit and donates the difference?
