Thrift/Benefit Shop Volunteer

I was recently asked to volunteer some time to a local thrift/benefit shop where I will be appraising the condition, components, and resale value of donated games.
It is my hope that these items sell for reasonable prices as the proceeds go to support local social programs.
My first week provided me with the following older and somewhat unknown items.
Comments are welcomed and encouraged.

Experienced thrift store shoppers will buy two or more incomplete games and assemble a playable copy.

Welland Christian Benefit Shop,
53 Southworth Street North,
Welland, ON L3B 1Y3
The shop is run by the Mennonite Central Committee who operate similar thrift shops across Canada and the U.S.
The winter months tend to be slow for donations, but with the warmer weather they will pick up again. At times quite a few games come in, but mostly Canadian editions with a sprinkle of Eurogames.
I have always found the shops in Niagara Falls, Ontario to have a surprisingly good selection of games at times.

I believe incomplete games are only discarded if they cannot be resold (staining, mold, etc.). Usable parts are saved for future use.
