I have an old compaq computer that was originally 2 grand but now, due to technology, is worth maybe 100 dollars because I upgraded a few parts. I came across this claim though...

"Tax laws allow an individual to deduct the current market value of a donated computer and allow a business to deduct the un-depreciated value of a donated computer." from here http://www.whitecanyon.com/donate-a-computer.php

Well that applies to the original purchaser of this equipment. I do not know if the business owner could furnish receipts, or any further documentation. I have the computer serial key and such though.

So could the person who bought this (business owner) donate this whole bunch and a few other monitors, keyboards, and components to some non-profit organization and receive a 2 thousand dollar take write off? The original market price of all of this equipment was 2000-2500 dollars back around the year 2000. Seems too good to be true.
