Default For charity groups-how do you sell donated things?

Our group is pretty strong and we receive a lot of donations. Periodically we have a yard sale and try to sell fabrics we can't use, books and supplies. Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a waste of time. Like when we tried to sell wool in the summer. The wool I contacted a local SCA group and asked them if they wanted it, and they bought a bunch of it.

How do groups price and sell books they don’t keep in their “libraries”? Are there tax issues to be reckoned with?


But we really need to raise money to buy batting and backing material. We make little things from the donations to sell at local craft bazaars and such. What we can't use or sell we donate to Salvation Army or Goodwill.

Thanks
