HECK NO!!!
You sell them as you see fit. Nonprofit means you can't enrich
your self, but your organization is supposed to make a profit In this
economy that is becoming easier all the time -at least at the Bicycle
Kitchen that is the case.

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?
