14 cents per for bulk high velocity is a price that people are paying. Colibri was always more expensive.
This is not an endorsement of those prices, nor is it a price I’m willing to pay. I’m just saying what is.

I can't image someone is paying that at a garage sale. Maybe on a table at a gunshow. Price them to sell, they won't help if they don't sell.
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
Off hand I would say for a garage sale maybe $5/50 and $30 for the 325. More than it was a year ago but not as sky high as gunbroker.

Each year the Federated Church holds a sale just prior to Christmas. Local artisans, hobbyists and general well wishers are encouraged to donate their wares for the general good. Hobbyists, and artisans especially, aren't at all shy about telling the church what the sale price should be, BUT....in end the people that sell the items charge whatever they please.
You should indicate what the current market value for your items are. But you'll prolly be a lot happier if you don't ask what they sold for.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

If you're going to donate them to a non-profit so that they can sell them to make money, what you're really asking is, "how much value can I declare as a tax deduction"?
I disagree. I donate to a handful of charities each year. My (and many others) concerns that the charity does good within my definition with the items, money, or money generated form items. A potential tax deduction is ancillary to that goal. Having just completed our taxes this year; I not the current Federal Regulations on Taxes is such that 90% or more of the population will NEVER be able to claim a donation benefit based on the actual donation/s - rather they will be able to take the "Standardized" deduction for donations the Government has created. Once again; the VALUE of the donation is advancing the cause of the charity the average US of A citizen choses to support; and establishing a fair value to garner the MOST for that Charity is the objective.

If you truly want to give some item to some charity, for some altruistic reason, you will simply give the item to the charity and walk away.
They can sell it for whatever they want and there's no need to ask what it's worth before you drop it off.
List on Gunbroker, give the money to the charity.
The charity will not get the value...just wasting resources IMO.

Let's say you purchased a brick of 22 rimfire cartridges sometime ago for $10
You now want to donate that item to a charity (like maybe a SPCA rummage sale)
You could:
A. give the SPCA the brick of .22's and tell your friends you donated $10 worth of merchandise. (which is the amount you are really out)
B. give the SPCA the brick of .22's and tell your friends you donated $150 worth of merchandise. (which represents the current value but places the burden of selling the item on the charity)
C. SELL the brick of .22's yourself for $150 and give the ENTIRE $150 to the SPCA and tell no one that you donated money. (which removes the burden of selling the item from the charity).
I took it that the OP was donating the ammo to the non profit and was just asking what pride THEY should put on them. Guess I chose not to read to much into it.
Then sell the item yourself for the maximum possible amount and donate the proceeds.
I'd look for some way to auction them off for charity. People will surprise you. Heck, auction them off in the classified section here.
