We have a donor who wants to provide limited-supply bobbleheads for us to "sell" at a sports game. It makes sense to me that the bobbleheads are a GIK. The donor's intention is for us to use this bobblehead to acquire "donors." It seems that it is more straightforward to sell the bobblehead instead of figuring out what the fair market value may be for a limited-supply item. If we sell the bobblehead, could we use our regular credit card services so long as there was an updated receipt that reflected that this was not a donation? We would then also work with finance on coding these transactions as a different, non-donation source of revenue. 

Does this seem reasonable and the path of least resistance? We would be willing to make the bobblehead a benefit of a donation if there was a way to work that out ethically.
