Hey guys,
My grandparents gave a bunch of 1.5 scale model trains to a local railroad park , and are trying to claim this on their taxes. The problem is, without an official appraiser, IRS is only allowing $5,000 when they donated over $100,000. They are wondering if there are any official appraisers who would be willing to go over the list of items they donated, and give them the prices.
They do not have any pictures, as the donated items have been around the park for over two months, and people have moved the items around. Any help is needed.
Thanks in advance,
John
