Below, please find a list of items that we cannot accept at this time.  It is not a complete list and we ask for your understanding if we cannot accept your donation.  Our list of unacceptable items is drawn from the experience of other successful thrift operations and recent legislation regarding resale of items for under twelves.  If you have something that we haven't asked for but you think would sell online, please check other online auctions and see if similar items are selling.  We will evolve our wishlist and welcome feedback and suggestions.  Thanks again for considering donating to HSF Garage.
