this morning i was shopping at the new Brier Creek GCF (why don't  
they just call it a @#$%& Goodwill like they do everywhere else?) and  
while i making my obligatory flip through the garish pile of $1.99  
CDs, i started to sense the presence of multiple copies of the  
Ticonderoga record on 54º40... actually i counted about eight of 'em.  
did someone get a tax write off for those? did someone making indie  
rock really need a tax write-off that badly to probably even take a  
loss against manufacturing costs?

Which makes me curious, what could you claim on a donation of an  
unsold ticonderoga CD? the 2 bucks they sell it for? in which case,  
i'm sure there are a few other people on here with a closet full of  
$2 deductions...
