I don't know how many of you guys collect sports memorabilia, but I need to know the value of something. I got a pair of signed Greg Oden shoes for my sons school auction. Not game worn, new in the box. We are filling out the paperwork and they asked the value of the object. Shit, the shoes alone are $150. Anybody got an idea?
Come on you dorks! I need a serious answer. My wife already thinks I'm a dork for always being on here with you guys. This is a great oppurtunity for you all to get on the good side of MRS. HCP! Help!
Do you get to write off the value as a charitable donation on your tax return? If not, it doesn't matter. I would put the market value at about $200-250.
Never mind . . . I thought you were wondering how to get the most out of it. If filling out a form, I would put priceless.
If it's for a school, then the funds are going to a non-profit organization, meaning that the difference between the price paid and the actual value is deductible by whomever purchases the item, which is why the actual value is needed.
I'd probably mark them no lower than $250. His more rare autographed sports cards go for between $100-400 depending on the brand, style, and rarity. You can get more available, cheaper cards that are autographed, but these are shoes.
those are certified autographed serial-numbered rookie cards. a piece of random autographed memorabilia without a COA is worth whatever anyone will pay. put those shoes on ebay and you'd be lucky to get $50.
I won't write it off since it was a gift from Greg and the team. I'm just the middle man. Size 19's. They are personalized with his name on the tongue. And cool designs etched on the side. Like a couple buildings from downtown, roses and other stuff. Pretty cool. Thanks for your help.
Adidas Team Blazer shoes signed by none other than the high flying acrobatic TRAVIS OUTLAW. Being that your a Blazer fan in Cali, I'll sell them on the low side . . . $500.00
http://shoeyork.com/jordan-pe-nike-player-exclusive-sample.html some of the player exclusives going for $500+. Being that they're signed, they should be worth more. Kobe's are $2500: http://osneaker.com/nike-zoom-hyperdunk-kobe-bryant-pe-player-exclusive-home-white.html hmmm...those don't seem like the made for player shoes though..... These are individually made, with extra support and customization for the players. Quite the rare treat. I'd probably pay upwards of $400 and I'm not even a serious collector. I'd go $500+.
